Original artwork description:

№Varv 209

The painting titled "June 16" captures a moment of deceptive calm and everyday normalcy against a backdrop of a clear blue sky, punctuated by the presence of birds perched atop an antenna. The antenna, standing tall and unassuming, is a stark contrast to the reality of the day it commemorates—a day marked by violence and fear due to a massive missile attack on Kyiv.

The meaning of the painting could be a stark reminder of the resilience of life and the persistence of normalcy even in times of conflict. The birds, unbothered by the affairs of humans, continue their daily routines, symbolizing the endurance of nature and life amidst human-made chaos. The sky, mostly clear and peaceful, may represent the hope for a swift return to tranquility and the human desire for the cessation of violence.

On a deeper level, the image could be interpreted as a commentary on the contrast between the simplicity and beauty of the world as seen through the natural elements of the painting and the complexity and ugliness of human conflict. The date, "June 16," serves as a timestamp, linking this seemingly peaceful scene to a day of turmoil, thereby infusing the image with an underlying tension and a poignant sense of the fragility of peace.
