The Love Between Dads And Their Little Girls In 42 Heartwarming Illustrations By Ukrainian Artist
It is a well-known fact that dads have a special bond with their little girls. Ukranian artist Snezhana Soosh has created a series of watercolor illustrations show the magic and beauty of this relationship.
Most of Snezhana's work is incredibly detailed, focusing on showing daily routines of fathers and daughters in a new light. The artist invites viewers to concentrate on what hides behind the image, what emotion it evokes.
“I always wanted to have a tender and loving relationship with my own father, but he didn’t know how to show his love so most of the time was distant and cold,” Soosh told The Huffington Post. "I drew what I lacked and very much wanted — to feel loved and protected by my big papa."
She mostly uses pastel, earthy colors, and the main theme of her illustrations is children, parenting, and the family bond.
Take a look at the new illustrations of the “Dad by my side" series and vote for your favorites.

Teaching Her To See The "Invisible People"
DancingToMyself 8 years ago
It means that "invisible people" are also humans with their emotions and thoughts, they are less fortunate and beg for some change. She (the artist) wanted to show that they are VERY much visible and their life's matters. The tiny girl just learning that important fact. :)

mrreeow 8 years ago
This one truly hits home for me. I was raised by my dad and I wouldn't have it any other way, he is the most loving, and supportive father I could ask for. My dad is currently going through a difficult time in his life and I did not hesitate to fly back home to be with him while I could. Even though I feel like I can never do as much for my dad as he did for me, I will always try my hardest to be there for him in anyway I can, just like he does for me.

Yes, this kind of dad is from fairytale. They don't really exists (lack of time, hard work, many problems with money-so even more working, hard times, exhaustion, tough life...). The artist really beautifully showing us what she desperately needed /wanted all her childhood. Details are awesome!

I have the complete art collection of my children stashed away. They others say i am going a little overboard. They made them so earnestly, while thinking and singing. Their thoughts poured into them. Just could not throw it out.

Who ever said that you are overboarding - can't be true. They are probably embarrassed that theirs went to garbage. Jealousy is so funny sometimes.
