Before any warning sign of armed conflict in Europe, Viktoria Vorotina, a former model and revelatory artist, connected with the spirit of her heart and found inner serenity as seen through an abstract and transformative art collection titled "Hope And Peace". But after Putin's decision to invade her country, triggering a global economic crisis and scores of civilian casualties, the painter from Kyiv now dedicates the collection to bring light into each home and nurture harmony in people's hearts.
"I am a native of Kyiv. For me, it is painful to see the suffering of my country and its people. There is a deep shock and trauma from this attack. Now, I feel my mission is to rebuild people's lives and re-open their hearts and to love and share the light for our world through our creations, through language, sounds and music, or the golden threads that connect our people as one," said Vorotina.
