New art works

Projects

Lykhachiv school

• The lyceum in Likhachiv village. Ukraine. At the beginning of the war in 2022, this lyceum was damaged by shelling. Therefore, Brave to Rebuild Foundation and the European Commission decided to restore it. And not just restore it, but create an art installation. They invited me as an artist to create a mural on the facade of the school.The school itself was built nearly 100 years ago, in 1927, using an ancient Ukrainian technology of clay houses.

  It was restored using the same technique. More than 70 volunteers from the “Brave to Rebuild” community and local residents worked together to ensure that the school could reopen its doors. In this mural, I combined traditional Ukrainian painting with a story from the present. The grapevines are also a traditional ornament for this area. She is waiting. And she sends the wreaths on the water, hoping to find her beloved. The strong waves of life rise above her head, but the most important thing for her is inner peace.

• The echo glows, reflecting the sunlight, and somewhere there burns a star that will show the way forward. The storks fly off to warm lands, but for someone, it's time to stay at home. He, like Atlas, firmly holds the sun that shines on all of us. He cannot give in to the waves that try to knock him down. In him shine all those stars—the souls he has saved. Soon, the fern will bloom for him, bringing happiness and peace. The wreaths set afloat on the water, to find love, will reach their future owner.

  

Painting on weapons

Javelin for auction

A transformed Javelin — turned into an art object after being used on the battlefield. Created for an auction at the House of Cinema in Kyiv, Ukraine. The piece is rich with symbolism. The eyes represent the idea that the universe — and justice — sees all. Nothing goes unnoticed, and everyone will ultimately receive what they deserve. The viburnum (kalyna) is a powerful Ukrainian symbol of national identity and deep-rooted heritage. It speaks to our cultural consciousness and connection to the land.

The burrs symbolize human flaws and vices — the inner obstacles we must overcome in order to build a better world. All elements are interconnected: our actions and their consequences, our labor and its outcome. This connection is visually expressed through entwined vines painted across the object — a metaphor for the invisible threads that bind cause and effect, self and society, destruction and rebirth.

Shell casing

Spent shell casings that have been given a new purpose, created as part of the Weapon Transformation project. These objects, once tools of destruction, are now reimagined as carriers of meaning and memory — transformed into symbols of resilience, reflection, and renewal.
