I'm Ukrainian and the War in my country is my pain since 24th of February. I saw a lot of aerophotos after shelling and these images don't go out of my head. 
In this artwork I want to show you how my wounded Motherland suffers. 
Even in bright summer colors Ukraine don't look carefree.

Entering into meditation, I sometimes imagine that I 
am somewhere in space, in the middle of the 
universe, and the light from the stars, refracted, 
dances around me. It is very important to allow 
yourself to explore the world through the expansion 
of your consciousness. The painting "Cosmic 
dance" was created using liquid paints on 
hardboard. 40*cm,

The first day I arrived at the Helikon Art Center was the holiday of Kurban Bayram, the celebration at the end of the month Ramadan. On this day the cows are sacrificed according to Islamic rules and traditions. People cut the throat of a cow above the hole in the ground, so the blood is drained. The significance relates to the occasion in the Quran when Abraham was ready to sacrifice his son on the command of God. God interrupted the act and Abraham used a sheep instead, however, the celebration occurs to show the dedication of Abraham and his acknowledgment that God is everything.
The screams of cows from everywhere astonished me, and I felt disquiet. And I naturally wanted to express in the painting my attitude to the sacrifice of a cow. In the painting, I employed the traditional symbols from Anatolian carpets.
The people in the painting are looking at the cow from the bottom. They are sacrificing the cow, as if saying to the God “Dear God, please, do not take away any of us randomly, but take the life of this cow instead.” Between the people and the cow, there is a symbol of a wolf. People look at the cow as fierce predators, willing to kill her.
The symbol on the cow means motherhood, fertility, reproduction, and abundance. This is the motif of the Mother Goddess. For me these cows are somehow attached to women, oppressed in the Turkish culture.
The birds are looking at the cow from the sky. This means the sacrifice doesn’t go the God, but to the birds, who will eat the bones of the dead cow. These bones will reincarnate in the birds and will give the birds the power of life. And then, the cycle will repeat. The symbol on the birds stands for wisdom, grace, happiness, and love. This symbol goes along with the symbol of the Tree of Life – the symbol of perpetually developing life ascending vertically into Paradise. It stands for the Universe existing within continual development and change. The birds of the Tree of Life represent the birds of life, which fly when the time comes. This motif symbolizes the search for immortality and the hope for life after death.

I am feeling a lot of hatred towards all Russian soldiers and their parents who let them go to war to kill. In any case, Russia is a loser, since they came without an idea and to a foreign country where there is no slave thinking and there is real love for homeland. The citizens of Ukraine are now more united than ever, everyone is doing everything possible to destroy the enemy. The unity of Ukrainians cannot be killed.

"Defense of Independence" tells about the entire movement of resistance to Russian troops and the ideology of slavery and servitude. We are not defending borders, we are defending the idea of ​​independence and our national tradition of being free. Therefore, I used the image of the Independence Monument as an idea of ​​the nation, which also played a role in the Revolution of Dignity.

For different peoples, pomegranate symbolizes different things. It is considered a symbol of fertility, abundance, eternity, charm, love and marriage, and in ancient Greece, the pomegranate is a symbol of life. This hour in Ukraine there is a war with the Russian invaders and many Ukrainians were killed. But life goes on, people fall in love, get married, and when the war ends, the Ukrainian people and their culture will live. Everything that was destroyed will be rebuilt and Ukraine will regain its peaceful life.

Where it's loud and scary 
And hear howling siren 
Where it is quiet, as if in outer space 
Where spring cannot happen the way we all imagined it. 
They want to go to their native home, like millions of people who were forced to leave it. Will come back 
The war took away and discolored our spring, our lives. Nevertheless, revival and renewal is inevitable, it is already happening in our country and in each of us. 
The willow turns green, the birds return home no matter what, and we, despite the pain, continue to create our history.,

Iryna Vorona “Totem”, 55x45 cm., charcoal on paper, 2022. 
This artwork “Totem” is part of my war diary - Portrait archive of the war “War faces”. All portraits are dated, this one was created on the 127 day of the war. And it is combined with a page from my diary: “Everyone has his own talisman, relationship with whom he cherishes, protects and values. This person is a talisman of fate and all life, the only totem that is always with you”. 
Since the 24 of February, I have been working on the #warfaces series, which is based on true events of 2022. The topics I raise in my works are taken from everyday life, and people and their struggle for freedom become my main inspiration. The issue of preserving freedom in the face of its suppression is not new to Ukrainian society. My latest art project in progress is portrait archive of the war “War faces” that is also my personal challenge. Its main message is to document the impact of the war in the heart of Europe on the least protected of its inhabitants, and the difficulties that people have to go through every day in the struggle for basic rights and freedoms. Therefore, I am staying in Ukraine to document what is happening with paper and coal.

"Is there any option except suicide?" 
I've never been particularly eloquent, so there's only one way for me to talk - through art. This artwork is one of the series of artworks, which are dedicated to the issue of suicide in children. Every year, in Ukraine only, the number of children, who don't see any sense in living and don’t have any hope for them, is incessantly increasing. 
Right now during the violent occupation, russia's made thousands of children orphans, victims of violence (rape victims included) and atrocities. Fortunately, most of them survived, but how are they supposed to live the rest of their lives?,

Is there any option except suicide?  by Anastasia Dzyba

Is there any option except suicide?

The following work was created after russian terrorist attack in Vinnytsia, July 14, which took life of 24 people, including little Liza, which was 4 y.o. As far as Instagram, Facebook and other social nets block and censor posts with pictures, videos and even words about the war that they find "too sensitive", I was searching for the ways to share certain news in a non-narrative way. "Helli, my name was Liza" is one of the artworks, that have a tragical story behind. 
The envelope symbolizes the news itself, information that should be delivered and spread. The red feathers refer to Liza, associating her with a little angel that was killed, and being the evidence of her presence here with us recently.

52x33.5, tinted paper, paint, Poltava, 2020. When we fall asleep, we seem to dissolve into another reality. We imagine ourselves to be anyone or anything. Once I had a dream in which I was running away from a gypsy. After a while, this woman turned into a dog, and then into a bird. At the end, when the bird turned into an insect, I was able to stop and catch it in a jar. In the morning, after analyzing the dream, I remembered the work of William Morris, which depicts an amazing forest that is full of metamorphosis. I wanted to portray a girl who enters this forest while sleeping and turns into a bird herself.,

"інтерференція.софія"

This series of works covers the social theme of our society from within where I live. Its second name is routine. I turned to topics such as pain and hope, accessibility and impossibility. During the brainstorming, I asked myself these questions. What is Ukraine? What is it like to be Ukrainian? And who does Ukraine really live in? Trying to answer these questions, I realized that Ukraine is inside of every Ukrainian. It is in the genetic code, with an unique symbolism, spirituality and traits. In my works I portray ordinary people. They are often in their local environment, based on my realities of living in Ukraine. The fear of war leads to lack of confidence in the future. However, hope dies last – it is impossible to destroy it easily as it is also always blind and sincere. Looking at the history of the Ukrainian past, as well as novadays, we can conclude that one can take almost everything away from a person, even freedom. But there is something that can’t be withdrawn – the code of national identification! If you were born a Ukrainian, you would always be one! I note that no matter how much external influence Ukraine experiences, she is without doubt remains unique. Ukraine is not a country that must obey the right or the left as she has her own choice and lives in the genetic code of every Ukrainian! That’s what is hardly destroyable. Ask yourself are you Ukrainian? How much Ukrainian is there in you? Do you look like a Ukrainian?,
