Description of the Artwork “Mavka and White Wolf”

Mávka (Ukrainian: Ма́вка) is an image of the female spirit in Ukrainian folklore and mythology. This is a long-haired figure, sometimes naked, who can be dangerous for young men. In my painting, Mavka is combined with a wolf as a romantic image to emphasize the magical charm of nature.

The image of a beautiful virgin capable of falling in love, at first sight, will forever remain a mystery to a person, which cannot be touched, which arouses interest and love for mystical creatures. I feel to perform a little magic when I bring my past experiences to my paintings. My stories are about feminine sensations and the beautiful nakedness of the female body. I embrace femininity through character traits, favorite books from childhood, wonderful dreams so sweet that you don't want to get out of bed, the mystery of motherhood, feelings, and thirst for love ... It was after the birth of my son that I gained the courage and understanding of who I am, what kind of pictures my soul wants to create ...
