It all began during a blackout caused by another missile attack. My husband and I were watching Ocean’s Eleven on a laptop when I suddenly recalled a picnic with friends — a table in the garden, chairs immediately claimed by cats, a cake waiting to be cut. The next day, we were supposed to go to the sea, to Crimea… This surreal memory became the essence of the painting — a moonlit terrace, a woman in black, and a quiet circle of black cats. A delicate balance between fear and nostalgia, where memory turns into quiet art. Created with high-quality Dutch acrylic paints Amsterdam on Italian canvas Unico, the artwork is finished with a satin varnish. The edges are painted to match the background. Part of the Life in Avatar series, it comes on a pre-stretched canvas mounted on a wooden frame. The painting is securely packaged in a cardboard box with bubble wrap and is signed by the artist, accompanied by certificate of authent.
