“Sunflowers of Ukraine” is a 100x100cm mixed media artwork by Mariya Dykalo, symbolizing the hope, strength, and resilience of the Ukrainian people.
The piece features a blue globe adorned with sunflowers—the national symbol of Ukraine—paying tribute to Ukrainian women forced to flee their country, while remaining deeply connected to their homeland. Delicate blue butterflies represent Ukrainian children, embodying their innocence, resilience, and hope for peace.
Reflecting the blue and yellow colours of the Ukrainian flag, “Sunflowers of Ukraine” is a heartfelt expression of unity, strength, and the enduring spirit of Ukrainians everywhere.
“As a Ukrainian, this piece is deeply personal to me. ‘Sunflowers of Ukraine’ represents not only the strength of the women and children who have been forced to leave their homes, but also their unwavering hope for a brighter future,” says Mariya Dykalo.
