"Our project began with a meeting with a vascular surgeon. He showed me his preparatory sketches before a surgery, and I was fascinated by their beauty—especially knowing they were connected to human life."

  "This experience inspired me to incorporate his drawings into my own paintings. I believe it will bring a new dimension to my work and infuse it with a unique meaning."

"The artist sees in the surgeon’s preparatory sketches for each operation an artistic statement: behind every surgical plan lies a human life, and each line drawn by his pencil is, in its own way, a lifeline."

 "Each brushstroke by the artist, inspired by surgical sketches, serves as a reminder that behind every artwork lies a unique story—evoking both the fragility and strength of each life."

"By repeating the tree-like pattern of nature, the blood vessels restored by the surgeon provide the body with oxygen, just as trees do for the entire planet Earth."

"The work of the artist and the surgeon on this project is a shared experience of exploring beauty—an inspired endeavor, among other things, by the Renaissance era, when science and art formed a unified whole, and the aspiration to understand the link between the human microcosm and the macrocosm—the universe—was at the forefront."

Svetlana: "I decided to cut my scroll 'Dream' to fund my exciting project, the one that’s closest to my heart!

It’s not destruction—it’s giving it a new life!"

Sometimes, you have to sacrifice something to achieve what you dream of!
