Motanka
Motanka is a modern reimagining of an ancient symbol—a spiritual protector drawn from Ukranian tradition, reinterpreted in paint. Wrapped in white, draped in layered red beads, and marked with linear red thread across the eyes and face, she stands for memory, dignity, and quiet resilience.
This portrait isn’t just visual—it’s cultural. Inspired by the Ukrainian motanka doll and infused with personal emotion, this piece speaks to both history and the present. The clean background keeps the focus on her sacred presence—she doesn’t look at you, but she sees through time.
The threads aren’t just lines; they are stories. And the embroidered patterns on her sleeve are my nod to handmade legacies.
Motanka is both powerful and serene. She belongs wherever courage is honored.
