This work is in honor of the Ukraine resistance fighting against invading Russian military. The woman featured is based on a statue in Kyiv, a goddess figure holding a kalyna branch, Ukraine’s National plant. In my illustration, she holds a Molotov cocktail with the trident coat of arms on the label.The fire from the bottle morphs into a Kalynia branch. Upon her head is a traditional floral crown, into which sunflowers- the Ukraine national flower- are set. Around the shield is a verse from the poem “To Osnovyanenko” by their national poet, Taras Shevchenko. It is from this poem that we have the earliest example of the cry “Sláva Ukrayíni!” (“Glory to Ukraine!”) All of the colors are taken from Ukraine’s military regalia. Measures 11″ x 14″ or 12″ x 16″.
