The HeART & Soul of Ukraine exhibit at the Villa Montezuma Museum in Sherman Heights features the works of artists all born and raised in the eastern European country
San Diego artist Orysya Barua likes to channel the beauty of her native Ukraine in bold, uplifting colors, depicting the nature that she holds dear. Her work, now on display at the Villa Montezuma Museum, is a stark contrast to other pieces depicting the darker times Ukrainians have experienced, from famine to the current Russian invasion.
“He said, ‘Put on an exhibit, because we’re not exhibiting things because of the war,’” Hueso said. “I thought, ‘Wow this would be perfect for the museum.’ I got reacquainted with the leaders of the House of Ukraine and we worked together on this, so it’s been wonderful to bring a little piece of Ukraine to my community in Sherman Heights and activate this museum.”
“You want to help somehow, and I heard about this exhibit and thought this is something I absolutely want to do and support,” said Rynberg after touring the exhibit. “We’ve all heard the stories of the spirit of Ukraine, that people thought they would be vanquished in a week but they’re still going. They are proud of their heritage and hope for a future of peace, and that is something we should all support.
Much of her artwork is painted directly on homespun kilim rugs that originally belonged to the families whose stories are depicted.
