"I started exploring the theme of war in my work back in 2015. Before that, he was fond of art and literature, which describe difficult and abnormal conditions in the history of our country. For me, the theme of war is always the confrontation of two forces: good and evil, light and darkness, beautiful and ugly, black and white. In the work "Interventionist" I tried to reveal these confrontations through engraving, which from a technical point of view enhances the emotionality of perception.
Regarding the decoding of images and symbols, everyone will be able to build their own reflections and meanings. Thus, the viewer becomes a co-author of the work, where the title of the work simultaneously becomes a starting point and a reference point in the development of the storyline. Here, simultaneously with the ugly and dead body of the torn occupier, a visualization of the desired image of the enemy appears on a subconscious level. In addition, the sheet demonstrates not only the fate of the direct invader, but also the indirect and hidden one, as evidenced by the chair. It serves as a symbol of home and home comfort. Therefore, this work also applies to traitors ("zhduns"), they will suffer the same fate, it is only a matter of time.
"Interventionist" is the result of collective resistance in the confrontation of two civilizations.This is the image of the invader in the minds of the citizens of the cathedral and independent country. This is a thorny road to victory. These are the consequences for the occupier." - Serhiy Gulievych
