“At certain moments, you get the opportunity to feel and understand the greatness of the people who are nearby. On the front line, but nearby», — Petro Bevza.
Like white peregrine falcons, Ukrainian soldiers demonstrate the irresistible strength of spirit that lives in their big hearts. Their intentions are pure, and the indestructible soul revives and heads for a bright future.
The artist’s dialogue between the used armor plate and the painting is a conversation between creative power and cruelty, destruction. It is a certain reflection of the common Ukrainian existence. Genesis of Victory, War and Love, Unity, Freedom, Struggle and Victory. The warrior and all participants in creation fill each other with the victorious energy of life and freedom.
