Apocalypse (2012)Pastel drawing by Kateryna Bortsova

I represented a triptych ‘Revival’ which is a component of the series of graphical work created in 2010 – 2011. This triptych opens the present series. ‘Revival’ is a post-apocalyptic series. Maybe the surrounding reality influenced on me as on an artist, as well as human behaviour in respect of the surrounding world. So I wanted to create an image of what we would face in future.
In pictures of the series we can see a little bit frightening images of people who got adapted to the new world and more severe living conditions. Their bodies have well defined muscles with a lot of tattoos, body piercing and metal details. Humanity bred such new people and created a new world they live in by its own forces. Although the series may have gloomy impression, the title itself bears a hope for optimistic future, for rebirth. Therefore I believe in humanity as the author of this work. Despite any difficulties human will survive and will go on developing but at another curve of civilization
