Heart of Ukraine
All ukrainian national symbols gathered to be protected and preserved by all kinds of ukrainian people – young and old, women and men, soldiers and civils.
Conscience
A quotation for the poster is taken from “To Every City Its Customs & Laws” by Ukrainian philosopher Hryhory Skovoroda. The literal meaning of the quotation is “I know that death is like a scythe, even a king cannot escape it.”
Renaissance of Ukraine
The belief in justice, victory and times when ukrainians will be able to nourish native land with flowers and not with their own blood.
Kamenyar typeface
Kamenyar is a serif typeface but not the regular one. Its strong serifs and a little shaky stems make it playful and brisk. Polite and regular from afar but when you look closely it reveals its rebel mood.
Tryzub
What it means – to be Ukrainian in a time of war? It means feeling evil when all is covered with it but still keeping your head high.
The sounds of the war
This is my country, and I haven’t been there for almost 6 months. This is my home, and I love it. And now my home is in a huge danger.
Self-portrait. Self-identification.
The first self-portrait since the start of the russian-ukrainian war. Symbolic way not to give up, to remember the roots, be proud to be ukrainian even in the most horrifying circumstances.
A step
Is it a step invaders make to the foreign land, or is it a step of coming back home?
Madonnas of Hutsul region
This poster was created as part of the Yellow&Blue project by Pictoric, an association of Ukrainian illustrators, for a series dedicated to different regions of Ukraine. The Hutsul region in the West of Ukraine is known for its many traditional chapels depicting the Virgin Mary or Jesus Christ. They are a great example of vernacular art, as people create the décor from small figurines, plastic flowers and candles.
Сoncerned. 80 level.
UN! This is not a movie!!! This is the life of people!!!
Zaporizhzhia NPP – should not become the second Chernobyl!!!
All this can still be prevented!
Home
The deep connection to your home and your land can come quite unexpectedly. You can call yourself a cosmopolitan as many times, as you’d like to. But when someone comes to ruin your house, you quickly recollect in your memory that this particular house is yours.
The Sprouts
Ukraine is one of the largest grain suppliers to the world markets. The way our agrarians cultivated and harvested the fields under shelling, impressed the world. I’m still stunned with this too, as well as with how people who grow different crops in their own gardens, share food with the others, and maintain a close connection with their land.
Cortisol Poster
This poster is a creative expression of the author’s feelings. This is what it feels like to sit every night in the hallway and listen to missiles or Shahed flying. At some point, there is so much cortisol that it becomes poison and starts to eat up from the inside.
chaos is the destruction, and that is the source
My main reflection of the year is that those emotional states I find myself in, what I transmit, can exist. I blamed myself for being able to do something only personal, due to my own mental wars and emotional battles, thinking that nobody needs it, only me. Where’s the meaning in that? But it can be. My destruction, this chaos, can be a source, not just destruction.
Not a Barbie girl
The pianist
Prominant Lithuanian pianist Darius Magintas performed open-air near the ruins of the House of Culture in Irpin as a way to raise money for all who suffered in russian invasion.
Kerch bridge on fire
Poster in memory of those killed on October 5.
The terrorist attack by the Russian military in the village of Groza became the bloodiest crime committed by Russians in the Kharkiv region since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. According to the latest data, this crime took the lives of 51 civilians, 6 people were injured.
Rivne Font
Rivne font is inspired by Ukrainian grocery signs and lettering and labels from the beer factory Bergsloss, which was standing in the early XX century in the west of Ukraine. Depending on time, all the signs and labels were changing, but some of them were kept and inspired me to create some rhyme of Ukrainian art deco. Ultrabold and ultrawide Rivne font is perfect for working with big titles and posters but also has a very saturated low character letters charisma.
«Blood brothers, I was patched up! Hold the ranks! » (Побратими, мене підлатали! Тримаємо стрій!)
The Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a counteroffensive. The sirens of ambulances in Zaporizhzhya are sounding more and more often. Such is the price of liberation…
Responsibility and honor.
If not us, then who…
We are alive, therefore, we are in line.
Men and angels free their land from the enemy. No one has the right to kill our relatives. Enemy, know that you will pay for every tear of our children.
Trembita typeface
Trembita — is a display typeface that has no curves. A bit clumsy and restless but remains warm and friendly. Inspired by carved words on trees in the carpathian woods. Typeface is named after “trembita” — an alpine horn which is common among Ukrainian highlanders Hutsuls who live in western Ukraine.
I’m drowning
Blowing up of Kakhovka Dam became the largest man—made environmental disaster in Europe in decades committed by russia.
Save Azovstal
This collage was made after the Kalush Orchestra’s performance at Eurovision 2022. Pink panama is the last hope for salvation. Periwinkle is the most important symbol of life, the immortality of the human soul, a talisman against evil. Violets are a symbol of longing for the dead.
