The spirit of the Carpathian mountains, which lives in dark caves and comes out when it is necessary to protect nature from evil.

The theme of this group exhibition was “Boundaries”, broken by the war.
The poster was first painted directly on the wall and then photographed for use in digital format. It uses a real “to the shelter” sign, which points directly to the shelter where the exhibition was held.
The lettering was made in a tight contour, like the walls of a shelter room.
Translation of the lettering, clockwise: To the shelter; 29th October; «Boundaries»; Literally Underground Exhibition’ and the opening time 16:11.

This poster has 3 main symbols. First is colors — blue and yellow as the Ukrainian flag, but they`re sky and explosion. Second is the phrase. “You gotta Fight for Your Freedom” was inspired by one of the songs by the Beastie Boys “You gotta Fight for Your Right”. The third symbol is the crashed russian missile. These 3 symbols show the current war in a more unofficial but still relevant style as a reminder that it affects all spheres of life.

An animation project highlighting the tragedy that Ukraine is experiencing today.
The film tries to draw attention to the impossibility of standing aside and turning a blind eye to the terrible destruction caused by russian attacks.

The visual part has a cold and restrained aesthetic to convey the pressure and tension, which Ukrainians feel every day, but at the same time keep believing in victory and bright future.

In the „Quantum” project some of the fragments of the human body are quite realistic, others are deformed, as if there is an aberration of vision that distorts familiar forms, as if we are trying to focus on something that is constantly slipping away. These surrealistic games are enhanced by multi-coloured lighting. We find ourselves in a theatre of alternative corporeality, where instead of the certainty of anatomy, there is a chaotic set of elements for paradoxical reconstruction…

This project dedicated to my sister who died in car accident.In creating this project, I wanted to live and let go of a trauma that had been frozen inside me, to explore my sensitivity to distant events, my intuition and childhood premonitions about my sister never having children, to reflect on notions of life and death, reality and illusion, the state of play in its various manifestations.

Most of the photographs from the culminating (red) part of the project were taken after 24 February.

Within this artwork, a sunflower stands tall, its leaves charred and smoldering, a poignant symbol of Ukraine’s unwavering resistance against the occupying force of the Russian Federation. Even amidst the throes of an all-encompassing war, the Ukrainian spirit may bear wounds, but it remains unbroken.

Dementia is serious social problem.
Olena started researching problem of dementia when her grandmother was diagnosed with it. They talked about granny’s illness so she doesn’t lose touch with reality. Olena also involved her children in this process, which was helpful. There is no happy ending in this struggle, the illness always wins, and this dread is visible. When phantasmagorias merge with reality it’s always scary, and only thing that can help is the attention of relatives and closeness.

Hedgehog Family is a collection of 8 pages
from the daily life of anti-tank obstacles that can be found all around Kyiv, my city.
Hedgehog Family is obviously fictional, yet the stories they go through are tragically close to Ukrainian reality.

This summer I went home. On the first day in Kharkiv, I walked the streets. In one courtyard I saw the poster of a children’s art exhibition from 21.2.2022. Tears rolled down my cheeks. Tears of loss over the reality that was shot. A new one needs to be created. But where to start? Making art for my city felt meaningful. I choose the subject that is now familiar to many Ukrainians: long bus rides. Captured as a painting depicting this new chapter of our life’s – from the streets and back.

MOT (Module of Temporality) is the name and the main concept of the project. An exhibition pavilion was build with mobile blocks – cargo blocks representing constant movement. The identity is one more thing that shows that idea. Graphic blocks that proportionally remind the cargo blocks easily moved that allow to make a lot of different layouts easily and draw attention because of the bright color. Letter T in the logo divided on three parts that stands for past present and future.

Knyazhe font was started after the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in the «33 letters for Ukraine» challenge. Creating this font was almost one way to stay sane. Knyazhe wasn’t inspired by anything in particular. It just was. The font has a strong, Ukrainian tone. Later, it began to remind letterforms of Kyivan Rus. So, its name is Knyazhe (Duke), in honour of Ukrainian history, which no one can steal or ruin. The font has lots of alternates, with more bold and historical forms.

The name “Shima” is derived from the Japanese word for ‘island’. To reflect this meaning, a chain of islands from the Japanese archipelago, located south of Tokyo, was visualized in a graphic manner using simple dots. Another identifying feature is a coordinate that aligns with the theme of islands and a specific place known for fresh and tasty fish. Dots are recurring elements seen throughout the branding, including in the logo and other features like plates or holes on the menu.

A series of works “lovers”
Digital posters

The series of seven hand-crafted illustrations reflects Olha’s intimate feelings and fears about staying in Ukraine during the full-scale war and raising a child during such times. She says she might have never become a parent if she knew that full-scale war would begin and is afraid of moving abroad to avoid being seen as a ‘vulnerable refugee.’ All of her feelings found a way out as a blend of different color patterns and naive characters, just to confront the complexity of the series’ topic.

There are a lot Latin supported typefaces and not a lot of Cyrillic supported. Even fewer Cyrillic typefaces without russian trail. More of the time in the history of Ukrainians we were under russian cultural occupation that had a serious influence on our typefaces. Now we are trying to continue filling the gap in Ukrainian-type progress and the new Grunt Grotesk is a small but beautiful part of our new typeface traditions. Font has a lot of distinctive elements with Ukrainian vibe.

This font family began as a Bachelor’s diploma project at the Department of Graphic Design in the LNAA. Initially, its forms were inspired by the typography of Myron Levytskyi. While developing, it acquired its unique character and somewhat lost its connection with the first source. Bartka consists of 3 fonts for 3 aims: Neutral to be practical, Hard to be strong, and Soft to be natural. Each font has alternates to make designs more Ukrainian and display. But its primary aim — to be Ukrainian.

In Ukrainian society, as in other East European countries, the manifestation of sensuality and vulnerability by a man is still considered an unacceptable weakness. Mariia wants to support men in such manifestations and their rights to express the full spectrum of their feelings
