“1000 Days” is a deeply emotional homage to love as the last and strongest refuge in times of unimaginable hardship. Created on the thousandth day of the war in Ukraine, the painting draws inspiration from Klimt’s iconic “Kiss,” but transforms it into a symbol of endurance, unity, and the quiet power of tenderness. Wrapped in Ukrainian colors and surrounded by a landscape scarred yet blooming, the figures embody the belief that hope is born from human connection, that even in the darkest chapters, love is what carries us forward. This piece is a testament to the resilience of the heart and the unbreakable strength that comes from holding on to one another.
