Returned from war
This is a portrait of my uncle who was a soldier at the War in Eastern Ukraine (fighting on the side of regular ukrainian troups). I painted him in that day when he was returned home. Despite the fact that the danger was left behind and finally he had seen his family, deep in his thoughts he was still on the battlefield.
