Oil PaintDescription
Completed on the 500th day of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, The 500th Day is not a depiction of war but a painting created within it. Rather than illustrating events, it explores how prolonged historical experience reshapes perception, memory, and human presence. Built through successive transparent oil glazes on fine linen, the work gradually reveals its depth through sustained looking.Try it!
