Mother Son Original Painting (2026) Original Acrylic Painting by Halyna Kirichenko

" Take Care, My Little Boy" artwork from series "Between Generations"

As a Ukrainian figurative artist, I explore the stages of human life through the choices and inner transformations that shape us.

This painting is deeply personal. Like thousands of Ukrainian mothers, I wait for my son to return from war. Before the war, he had a peaceful profession. Today, despite everything he has endured, he remains the same kind, intelligent, and compassionate young man I raised.

Every day I pray for him. I believe a mother's love does not end where her embrace ends. It becomes an invisible strength that accompanies her child wherever life leads.

I dedicate this painting to every Ukrainian mother who waits and to every defender of Ukraine who carries the courage to protect life, freedom, and human dignity. It is a tribute to those who believe that love, faith, and prayer can become an invisible shield protecting the ones we hold most dear.

Series " Between Generations"

In the series Between Generations, Ukrainian figurative artist Halyna Kirichenko explores family life as a space where personal histories, values, and life choices are quietly formed and passed on. Family is portrayed not only as a social unit, but as an intimate emotional territory shaped by care, responsibility, vulnerability, and love.
Through symbolic figurative scenes, the artist reflects on relationships between parents and children, the continuity of generations, and the invisible threads that connect individual destinies. These works consider how major life decisions, inner transformations, and historical realities are experienced within the family and carried forward across time.

Between Generations invites the viewer into a contemplative dialogue about belonging, memory, and the silent influence of those who came before us.
