Aftermaths (The Time of War) is an ongoing painting series initiated in the months preceding the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022 and developing as the violence unfolds. The series examines the ambiguity of the images which conceal fear, displacement, and trauma behind their attractive appearances, using visual references across history of art. The paintings address the embellished reality that frames horrible war crimes.
