Acis and Galathea is an opera by Georg Friedrich Händel, a take on the Ancient Greek tragic love story. In 2019, Open Opera Ukraine did a reimagining of this opera, combining historically informed performance with contemporary scenography. For the main visual Anna Gadetska, creative director of Open Opera, came up with the idea of a photoshoot in the water. The photos by Zhenia Perutska are combined with Iryna Kostyshyna’s typographical take on the classic antiqua letters.

There is stuff written on the wall of every other dark corner, underpass or subway – different stuff, mostly ugly stuff. When one is feeling down, he or she is likely to take it too personally.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine, it feels like the walls of every other underpass are closing in on any Ukrainian, screaming their ugly stuff at them, while they are taking it too personally.
At least that’s how the artist feels.

Chevrons for the elite M2 unit, embodying a symbol that strikes fear into enemies.

League invoked a powerful weapon imagery. A distinct font, emphasizing recognition, pairs with an engineering font akin to NASA’s precision. Weapon-style markings and the iconic sword of Areus, bathed in the blood of enemies, symbolizing victory and precision. This chevron, easily stenciled, is both a badge of honor and a warning: the bearer is M2, a force to be reckoned with.

He imagines himself to be the master of the fate of the World. His political and personal ambitions lead to the death of people. Evil must be punished. Outside the window of the 21st century.

The illustration was created as part of the project “Even in dark times there is light”, which was launched by Pictoriс. This image is related to the story of a little girl Lida. On her birthday she asked for money as a gift to donate to the needs of the military.

A visual identity for a musical project dedicated to the works of Mykola Dyletsky, the XVII century Ukrainian composer. The project features cover for the “Ukrainian Baroque: Concordacii Animos” disc, the first compilation of Ukrainian baroque vocal music to enter major streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. The identity borrows from Ukrainian XVII-century lettering forms, combining it with modern typography and color palette.

Lots of animals were left abandonded due to various causes – death of the owners, inability to transport in extreme evacuation. Rescuers and volunteers risk their lives to save all of the little souls.

A few pages from the zine-performance in 5 acts. It consists of the heard thoughts, the observed, the reflection on why my design is so personal, the actions from the sacred and intimate archives, and the final act — a celebration of our decadence. A personal history of reflection with one’s own person, figuratively, the death in June.

This song “Oi u luzi chervona kalyna” (Oh, there is a red viburnum in the meadow) was sung in subway bomb shelters during shelling, when you had to not panic and stay in a good mood. It was sung by soldiers on the front line, by paramedics and rescuers. “Chervona Kalyna” was performed by children and the elderly, and their videos were shared online and received thousands of views. It’s hard to imagine a Ukrainian rally abroad without this anthem.

The idea was to create a product symbolizing the creative methodology and exchange it for donations for volunteers.

A military box marked with striking typography. Merged with beautiful calligraphy and evocative poetry, this utilitarian object transformed into a symbolic artwork, the “Inspiration Box.” Representing the battle of a designer’s challenge with the triumph of creativity, the box serves as an emblem of overcoming obstacles and a tangible tool for sparking imagination in its beholder.

The discovery of new levels of love, appreciation and gratefulness to all of ukrainians, who fight to save Ukraine, ukrainians and freedom.

Painful reality of being a ukrainian. The right to simply live is earned with blood and struggles.

Ukraine gives a worthy rebuff to the Russian onslaught. The Cossack spirit of freedom helps in this. They remember their history.

Is it possible to have an independent opinion at all, living in a society where there are so many opinions, information noise, and circumstances around us? This poster shows the marketplace of opinions through the metaphor of an ordinary market stall with a bored saleswoman. The poster is an hommage to Heorhii Narbut, famous Ukrainian graphic artist. The figure of the saleswoman is a stylized girl from Narbut’s illustration for the magazine “Art”. The lettering is inspired by Narbut’s typeface.

In my visual metaphor, Kyiv is an amalgam of concrete, glass, and plastic. Sometimes they are fused together in a very naive way and sometimes in a complicated modernist tempo. The curvy and rhythmical architectural forms were the inspiration for this poster which, just like Kyiv, in some places is replicating itself by a rhyme of shapes and materials and sometimes is just as unique and charismatic as Kyiv is.

This illustration emerged in the train, on my way from Poland to Germany in March. I’ve fled to Poland on the second day of the full-scale war. Shortly, at the beginning of March, russian military shelled the school, which is only 200 meters away from my mom’s and brother’s apartment. The girl in this illustration reflects my feelings over the past 1.5 years.
