Usually - for more than two years I have been doing this blog - I make my posts by selecting Victor's drawings on a certain topic (Dreams of Flight, Old Testament, Monsters, Fish, How to Draw Emotions etc.), or demonstrating a certain feature (A Few Simple Lines) or genres (Portraits, Still Life). But in this post I just want to show several of his most recent drawings. I have never understood how and why he decides to draw something in particular at a certain moment. In fact, he'd said he didn't understand it either. But at this really difficult period of his life, when he is fighting cancer, it's even more mind-boggling: what images and ideas visit his brain? what does he want to tell? By the way, Victor never draws to tell something to anyone but himself. This much I know...
But before you enjoy his drawings, please read this:
Recently Victor was diagnosed with sarcoma of the soft tissue of his knee. Until this shocking diagnosis he had thought for several years that it was arthritis. Now his cancer is in stage 3...
So far his treatment included several chemotherapy sessions and the surgery, but now he needs at least $11,000 to start radiotherapy, ASAP. For majority of Ukrainian people these amounts of money are simply incomprehensible, and there is no such thing as medical insurance.
Either you are a faithful reader of my blog, or you ended up here just once, by mistake - please contribute whatever you can. Victor really doesn't believe that it is possible to raise such an amount, but I believe that together we can make a difference. As a sign of gratitude, Victor and I would like to offer you a unique opportunity (that I have been enjoying for free for many years!): tell the artist what's on your mind - any word, theme, even abstract concept, - and he most definitely has a drawing on this topic which he will send to you.
