Original artwork description:

Omage to the engraving by Albrecht Dürer "The Knight of Death and the Devil". The painting is about how life in Ukraine changes the idea of holidays in times of war. For me, this painting is a semantic and visual inversion of Albrecht Dürer's engraving "The Knight Death and the Devil," where the protagonist does not oppose death at all and goes against it. In this variation, the woman seems to be running away from it because she wants to live without embarking on the path of war. This reveals the mood of ordinary people in Ukraine who just want to live and celebrate the holidays as usual
