Today I will tell you about the most viewed and beloved painting of those put up for sale on the site today www.saatchiart.com/helenpolishuk
This painting is called “Church” and was created by me in 2019.
It is on canvas, acrylic and covered with varnish from changes under the influence of light.
My signature is at the bottom right.
The painting is dear to me, like everything I create.
It is a composite image of churches, to which we go for purification and renewal, where we find consolation and love.
If we recall my favorite green city Kyiv, then the image of the church is St. Andrew’s, which stands at the top of the rise of St. Andrew’s descent, which connects Podil with the city center.
But the most dear to me is St. Sophia’s Church, which is the Mother of all churches in Kyiv and includes value, greatness and our heritage.
As a Christian, reminders and symbols of the church are dear for me. Christians honor the scriptures and think about Peace, Faith and Love.
This painting is part of a collection of urban paintings that I have been creating throughout my career.
If we take my early work, which dates back to the 90s, there is a picture painted in black and white, repeating the graphics in oil paints.
In those distant years, in my youth, it was painful and bitter for me to watch how our churches in many places were destroyed and forgotten. That picture – the roof of the church is tilted, plants are growing on it, the building is destroyed and only the cross reminds of the significance of this building.
The picture is in the collection in my home.
Today, time has passed and I am pleased to see the changes. My eye is pleased that young people honor the traditions of their ancestors, that our churches are rich in parishioners during the hours of celebrating holidays, they honor traditions and rituals.
I am glad that my picture today is recognized among the entire collection by the greatest number of views and likes.
It is very touching for me that my work is in a modern rhythm and is popular.
