“Angels” 100x100cm, available at Binovska Gallery, Cape Town, SA

I was born in Ukraine and as every citizen of any country, interested in the history of my country. I always wondered where the name Ukraine came from. In Ukrainian, "kraina" is a country. It turns out that Ukraine is a "U" country! After spending the summer at a summer House in Odessa, my grandchildren inspired me to create a new series of a country of elves and amazing animals called Uhland !!! The color solution of the series was influenced by my trip to Australia, where I liked the multicolored hairstyles of people.
