„I work with people’s emotions, and I want to show despair, anger, misunderstanding, devastation, all those emotions that I felt as a direct participant in the events, as well as greed for power, anger, propaganda, the opposite side. When creating these works, I remain true to myself, because I have been working in this style for 7 years, and I also want to feel that the works are permeated with horror and ethnicity of events, because I am inspired by engravings of the Middle Ages. As a child, I spent a lot of time in the village exploring the environment, so the first layer of the image contains those plants that I remember from childhood and as I remember them. But it coincided with the dark emotions associated with the war, divided into black and white, only straight lines that schematically show people’s attitudes towards this war.“ – Anton Hudo.
