Optimism - raised funds to support The National Academy of Arts, Ukraine

The Royal Academy of Arts, London hosted a very special evening to raise funds to help support The National Academy of Arts, Ukraine and I donated "Optimism" which went well over its estimate and raised £5,000 on the night.

I wanted "Optimism" to be rich in colour: to be strong, to shine brightly – to be full of hope. The charity auction was organised by the Natalia Cola Foundation a great supporter of the Arts in London and Ukraine.
