About the artwork
This painting explores the idea of dreams as a force capable of overcoming destruction and adversity. Inspired by the Hostomel mural, the work reinterprets the image of the Antonov aircraft as a universal symbol of freedom, ambition, and renewal.
The traditional Ukrainian ornamentation represents deep cultural roots, while the aircraft embodies innovation, movement, and the pursuit of horizons beyond the visible. Together, they create a visual narrative about a nation that preserves its heritage while looking toward the future.
Dream invites viewers to reflect on the relationship between identity and aspiration, reminding us that dreams are not an escape from reality, but often the first step toward transforming it.

Dream is a symbolic painting inspired by the mural created in Hostomel, a town that became known around the world as a symbol of resilience and hope during the war in Ukraine.
At the center of the composition soars the legendary Antonov aircraft, an image that transcends its engineering significance and becomes a metaphor for human aspiration. The airplane emerges from a vibrant field of golden wheat and rises through an intricate tapestry of Ukrainian ornamental motifs, where traditional floral patterns intertwine with the sky. The composition unites two powerful symbols of Ukraine: technological achievement and cultural heritage.
The rich palette of blue and yellow echoes the colors of the Ukrainian flag while creating a visual dialogue between earth and sky, memory and future, reality and imagination. The decorative background recalls traditional folk art, transforming the aircraft into a dream-like presence suspended between history and possibility.
Dream speaks about humanity’s enduring ability to imagine, rebuild, and move forward even after profound loss. It is a tribute to the power of collective memory, cultural identity, and the belief that every great achievement begins as a dream.
