The painting "Lullaby" unfolds a poignant scene that deeply touches the heart. A mother holds her child in her arms as the last barrier between their innocent world and the ravages of war. The gentle movements of the mother provide comfort, yet behind her, a backdrop of destruction serves as a reminder of the harsh reality of armed conflict.

On the other hand, the infant in her embrace becomes a paradoxical arc of hope and future. The clear sky across which storks gracefully glide brings a touch of positivity, peaceful life, and possibility. The storks, bearing the significance of Ukraine's national bird, embody more than a cultural connection—they carry news of good tidings, transcending the fear and weariness of war.

This painting highlights the strength of maternal love that sustains and protects in the toughest circumstances. It also reminds us of the importance of hope, peace, and harmony that can emerge even in the darkest times.
