My name is Victoria, I am a Ukrainian artist from the city of Kharkiv.
Madly in love with my city, I'm proud that I'm from Kharkiv.
February 24 changed my life for before and after, at one point we all began to appreciate the simple things we were used to and realized how happy we were. It hurts to look at the beloved city that is destroyed, to realize how many people were left without a roof over their heads and how many died. The war touched us all, just to varying degrees.
I do not have the opportunity to return now to my workshop and work, I hope that I can still do it one day. Two weeks before the war, I fulfilled my old dream: I opened a children's painting studio, but now there are only ruins from it! But the worst thing that the war took away from me was my brother, a young officer, he was only 23, this is an irreparable loss and pain!
