Description of the Artwork “Motanka's Gaze: Resilience Amid Ruins”
Through 'Motanka with the Stone Face,' Halyna Morar weaves a poignant narrative of resistance and resilience. Set against the backdrop of a war-torn building, the painting draws on the traditional Ukrainian talisman Motanka, reinvented here with a stone face - a metaphor for the unbreakable spirit of Ukraine in its struggle during the war. The piece moves beyond mere representation, embedding layers of hope, wisdom, and the fierce determination to withstand adversity. This work stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and a call to remember the sacrifices made for freedom and safety.
Artwork in the interior
Halyna Morar, Ukraine
Halyna Morar, born in 1986, is an artist and a disciple of Alexey Malikh's "Studio on the 13th Floor." She is a veteran of the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) and a participant in combat operations as part of the voluntary battalion of the National Guard (Kulchytsky Battalion). Additionally, she is a former journalist, volunteer, and previously held the rank of senior lieutenant in the police force. Morar's artworks are infused with the traditions of the Ukrainian people and the symbolism of wartime, gaining incredible relevance with the onset of full-scale Russian aggression in Ukraine in February 2022. They forecast a very difficult and somber Victory of Ukraine over the enemy and the division within the current world order.
