"Mriya": A tribute to the Ukrainian spirit, immortalized in ink on wood, capturing the essence of the legendary "Dream" plane, the Antonov An-225 Mriya.

The artwork, a testament to the artist's connection to the heritage, depicts the majestic silhouette of the Mriya, its wings outstretched, soaring above the clouds, a symbol of Ukrainian resilience and hope. The ink, carefully applied to the wooden canvas, breathes life into the aircraft, its lines and curves embodying the grandeur and technical prowess that made the Mriya an icon of aviation.

The Mriya, a Ukrainian word meaning "Dream," transcended its physical form to embody the aspirations and ambitions of a nation. Its destruction, though a devastating blow, could not extinguish the flame of hope that burns within the hearts of the Ukrainian people.

This artwork stands as a reminder that dreams, like the spirit of Ukraine, cannot be destroyed. The Mriya may have been grounded, but its legacy soars, inspiring generations to reach for the skies, to dream big, and to never surrender their aspirations in the face of adversity.

The blue and yellow hues, the colours of the Ukrainian flag, subtly interwoven into the artwork, serve as a reminder of the nation's unwavering spirit and the indomitable will of its people. The artwork is not merely a depiction of an aircraft; it is an embodiment of national pride, a symbol of resilience, and a testament to the enduring power of dreams.
