Way of Hope

Way to Hope was born from the deep pain caused by the war in Ukraine. The woman in the painting is a collective image of a mother, a soldier, a beloved, a guardian angel. She is saving a child from fire — a symbol of love, strength, and hope. She walks through wheat fields from a burning city, along a magical road — a path of longing, leading to peace, to life, to the simple joy of human existence. It is a road of hope, both dreamed and needed. Inscribed in the upper corners of the painting are the words: “Good always triumphs over evil, and light always overcomes darkness.” This piece honors the courage and hope of the Ukrainian people — and everyone who believes in the quiet power of light over darkness, of hope over despair.
