This flowing line drawing on white  paper by Anna Konrad reimagines KM by LANGE’s Kalyna Dress, her silhouette bending like a chervona kalyna branch heavy with Ukraine’s ancient promise. The defining symbol, Richelieu-embroidered leaves tracing asymmetrical cut-outs and handmade buttons, embodies the sacred viburnum, guardian of beauty, motherhood, and national resurrection, its fiery berries woven into vyshyvanka threads and Berehynia’s golden grasp. Silken viscose contours breathe through front and back voids, adjustable straps whispering resilience, a wartime hymn by Ukrainian women hands: organic shapes blooming defiant life from shadowed earth

Measurements: 30 × 44 cm.  

Paper: Cartolina Tintoretto, 200 g/m² (pure cellulose, mass-sized, felt-marked both sides). 

About the Artist

Anna Konrad is a German leisure artist studying fashion design in Berlin. Drawing has been a constant in her life since childhood; since 2013, she’s pursued it consciously alongside other creative outlets like jewelry-making to channel feelings, document daily experiences and express her personality. Memories and music fuel her greatest inspirations, manifesting in diverse media from traditional drawing and collage to digital, though she favors mixed media on paper. Her style flexes with mood and project,typically comic-like or stylized realistic, and draws from manga, animated series, video games and school art lessons.
