Awakening of Hope

Klymchuk Liubov

The artists is the wife of Volodymyr Klymchuk, who went missing on December 4, 2022. They were married for 12 years, and have two sons, Ivan, 9 years old, and Serhiy, 7 years old. The choice to paint spring as a subject is significant. Spring is often associated with renewal, hope, and a sense of victory over the challenges of winter. The artist's statement that "spring is victory, which is so desired" suggests a yearning for positive change and a brighter future despite the difficult times.
