I have been visiting the Black Sea city of Sudak since I was eight years old. First with my parents, then with friends, and later with my husband, until peace came to an end. I hope to go there again and perhaps take a ride on a convertible along the serpentine road, just as I had always wanted. However, as time goes by, it becomes harder to paint a smile on the Avatar’s face… Series “Life in Avatar”. It’s my personal view of the life that can be lived, but was taken away by Russian aggression. This is my virtual life, as real life now awaits victory. Each work features the face of Lisa, like perfect Avatar. She has survived more than one war and continues to do so beautifully. Dutch acrylic paints Amsterdam and Italian fine-grained cotton canvas tm Unico were used. The finish is matte lacquer. The edges of the painting are painted in the same color as the background. The work is signed on the back and front and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
