Phoenix - Alina Babenko
Oil on canvas, 2022
100 x 80 cm
Description: The work "Phoenix" is a remarkably detailed and expressive painting that fascinates with its unique texture and numerous layers of color. But not only the painterly aspects of the painting are impressive, the emotionally moving story it tells also makes "Phoenix" an extraordinary work of art. The painting is a processing of the war of aggression from Russia to Ukraine, and the artist chose the phoenix as a pictorial motif. The mythological bird stands for rebirth and immortality, since when it dies, it bursts into flames and is reborn from its ashes. For Alina Babenko, the phoenix symbolizes the victory over death and the rebirth of Ukraine.

„Die Verwendung des Symbols des Phönix verleiht dem Werk eine tiefe Bedeutungsebene und macht es zu einem wichtigen künstlerischen Statement über die politische Situation in der Ukraine. Außerdem hat Alina nicht mit Ölfarbe gespart, was dem Werk eine ganz besondere Intensität verleiht.“
