In this poignant bronze sculpture, Leo Adam masterfully brings to life the image of the 'Weary Angel', which symbolizes the unspeakable pain of loss, human tragedy and devastation caused by the war in Ukraine. With the help of allegory and realism, it seems to embody the collective call for peace that sounds from the depths of the souls of millions. This sculpture greatly helps to feel the sadness that lies on the hearts, the desire for peace and the strength of spirit that continues to live in the hearts of people despite the trials.
Leo Adam (Leonid Shatsilo), born in 1959 In 1982, he entered the Odessa State Art School named after M.B. Grekov at the sculpture department, which he graduated in 1986. It is the oldest and most prestigious university in the Soviet Union and Ukraine. Since 1987, he worked as a sculptor at the Khmelnytskyi Art Combine of the Art Fund of the Ukrainian SSR. He created sculptural compositions of commemorative signs for fallen soldiers in the Second World War, created busts and memorial plaques for outstanding people. Now I am engaged in sculpture from bronze, wood and ceramic clay, I paint on canvas with oil paints.
