A year ago today, the world lost an artistic gem.

Lyubov Panchenko - born in Bucha, Ukraine, 1938 - died in Bucha, 2022.

During her life she travelled Ukraine, exploring the traditional folk art of her country. She produced watercolours, collages, designed embroidery and dresses. In her later years, she received the Vasyl Stus prize.

Recently came across some beautiful by the artist . Something about the colour palette and the flowing, sharp lines in these works really hits me, such striking and lovely pieces.

Panchenko was born just before World War 2, but her staunch opposition to the Soviet regime and refusal to change her style to suit the authorities meant she never had an exhibition of her work until independence.

She lived in , until her death in April 2022 aged 84.
