Woman on Boat by Remed, acrylic and spray paint on wall, 9m x 17m, Kiev, Ukraine, 2010
The last canva i did, was representing a man on a boat, and during my researches about Kiev’s history, i felt on two amazing sculptures. The first one was a woman standing at the front of a boat, with the founders of Kiev standing behind her. I directly felt I could use this symbol as an influence for this piece.
The second sculpture that inspired me, is the one called MotherLand. A huge woman, holding a shield and puting her sword in the air.
I like the energy and the idea that are conected to this to symbol of resistance and strength. So i decided to paint a woman on a boat, moving through the waves of the present or the past, towards Future. And so this sketch appeared to me, and satisfied me.
