Oleksandra Christophorova “In expectation”

2015; tempera on plywood; 100×70 cm; framed.

Description:
An image of a woman-Ukrainian in expectation of happy maternity. New life grows through her and she begins to blossom like a flower.
For making this picture I was inspired by my friend who was going to have a baby. But the image transformed to a Ukrainian archetypical one.
The work presented Ukrainian culture in Lebanon in 2019.
