For the fourth month, work on the development of the "Lost Presence" project has been ongoing as part of the scholarship program for the Restoration of Cultural and Artistic Activities from the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation and the Ministry of Culture of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg Ministère de la Culture, Luxembourg. The experience of Ukrainians in the war gained after February 24, 2022 was reinterpreted by the means of visual art, as well as its connection with the experiences of the stage of the war, which has been ongoing since 2014, was worked out. A number of new works of art were created in the workshop in Lviv in painting techniques, collage techniques, drawing, mixed techniques. The provision of materials made it possible to develop experiments with materials and build a new visual language in the process of working on the project. In fact, more works were created than previously indicated in the application. Sketches have been created for further implementation in the future. In the process of work, the project developed and received several offers to create personal exhibitions. Vela held negotiations in recent months and decided to choose formats that will help to develop the project as much as possible in the future, and not just summarize the work done. Therefore, I will soon announce the projects planned for 2024.
