Yesterday Lviv Rocked by Powerful Explosions 2022

Kinder Album made this watercolor, "Yesterday Lviv Rocked by Powerful Explosions," with delicate washes of pink, red, and yellow. I imagine the artist's hand moving quickly, trying to capture a feeling more than a scene. Look at the way the colors bleed into each other, creating a sense of unease and urgency. I think this artist's channeling something so profound. The figures peering through what appears to be a parted curtain, their eyes wide with fear – what were they thinking when they made this? It's raw, like a diary entry. The thinness of the paint allows the white of the paper to peek through, as if the image is struggling to materialize. It reminds me of other artists who use painting to process trauma, like maybe an early Goya. This piece feels like a scream, a quiet but persistent scream that echoes across time. It's a reminder that artists are always in conversation with each other, borrowing, stealing, and transforming ideas into something new and deeply personal.
