Description: Crimea: Me and My Ex-Boyfriend This painting is a heartfelt and poignant visual story dedicated to the first evening we met in Crimea. It reflects the moment when two worlds collided: he, a Lithuanian, and I, traveling to London for our meetings. The canvas is filled with a complex palette of emotions I experienced during that time: happiness and serenity, love, calmness, and sadness. Each emotion seems to be encapsulated in the brushstrokes, colors, and textures. It is an attempt to convey to the viewer the array of feelings that enveloped me back then. ### Notes of Pain The painting was created through the lens of pain that came later, becoming an integral part of the story. It is not just a memory but also a process of emotional transformation, turning personal experiences into art. Through this work, I aim to share not only the beauty of those moments but also their fragility. I hope it allows every viewer to feel not only the warmth and light of love but also the subtle trace of melancholy, which makes these memories even more precious.
