Aliya Bodnar

When I was younger, I felt trapped in a world where my voice didn’t matter. I was constantly forced to be ‘right’ by other people’s standards, and I lost myself in the process. That pain of being silenced, of feeling invisible and powerless, led me to find my freedom through art. My watercolors capture the fleeting moments of life, often overlooked, set against the timeless, enduring beauty of grand architecture. Each painting is a dialogue between eras, blending the pulse of modernity with whispers of history.
