The life experience of the Ukrainian people. Posters based on Ukrainian idioms.

Добре бути, де є ти.
Тихше місце не знайти.
Будеш кволий, не підеш,
Але ти мене знайдеш.

Я в тобі завжди знайду:
Щастя, радість, теплоту.
Ти мене не полишай
Я прошу, лиш захищай.

Ти покрий мене, сховай
І тій темряві не дай
Захопити в пустоту,
Де знайдуть, як сироту.

Освіти мені той шлях,
Куди йти у своїх снах,
Де сховатись від примар
Від усіх на світі чвар.

We are on our land and we are struggling to be… to be free.

A series of works entitled “Bestiary” realizes the desire to explore the mystery of natural wonders. To explore different aspects of the psychological state, where emotions are transformed into a plot and reflected in the form of mythical creatures. The images are created to expand the space for fantasy and allow us to comprehend the possibilities of imagination. Each creature is endowed with supernatural abilities and internal contradictions, has its own unique history and character traits.

The Myths of Ukrainian Nature — a series of mask designs inspired by Ukrainian myths. Each mask hints at a Ukrainian mythological creature, and each of the designs is made entirely from plants: pomegranate, grapes, mistletoe, eucalyptus, gerbera, brunia, and more. The project’s goal is to pique interest in our Ukrainian culture, to showcase its mystery and richness. Ukrainian culture is an enigma, filled with secrets, something that can’t be proven but can be felt.

Two festival posters for the academy’s student council made with nonprofit intentions.

Vyshyvanka Day is an international holiday that aims to preserve the Ukrainian folk traditions of creating and wearing ethnic embroidered clothes called vyshyvankas. Th studio created a poster and graphic system for Vyshyvanka Day Festival, that takes place in Croatia. It is organized by a Ukrainian diaspora.

zlo – ukrainian “зло” (evil)

Researching forms and contemporary stylistic solutions of the Ukrainian trident reflect Ukraine today as a modern, digital state. The trident, in this case, is an object of interpretation, a symbol of a young, diverse country striving for development and freedom.

Every page has its small reflection on the things we tend to overlook during the war. In fact, it is truly difficult to see and enjoy daily things through the lens of war, while there are constant blackouts, bombings, and sirens.

That is why I wanted to create reminders for every month and rediscover some things not only for myself but for my friends too. Such things as looking up to the sky, gifting flowers, and being tender are small yet almost unreachable.

Reflection on events happening around us. The “celebration” of familiar holidays has changed its appearance and significance in the context of a harsh war in which the country and its entire population find themselves 24/7. There is a total reassessment of values, and a change of symbols, such as the New Year tree being replaced by a more relevant and practical attribute in the context of war – an anti-tank hedgehog, and a champagne bottle being replaced by a military projectile.

Ukrainian embroidery weaves a timeless tapestry of narratives and reservoirs of vitality, now echoing a fresh saga – a relentless battle for freedom.

I guess I hadn’t done any type with such love, enthusiasm, and accuracy as this UKRAINE lettering! Tried to relay it through my beliefs about all Ukrainian. Blooming, playful, worthy and glorious. Referring to Ukrainian art nouveau architecture which adorns our history and our cities and which is under attack today. I believe the Ukrainian society will become even stronger and more independent, emphasizing its authenticity and originality, we will rebuild what is physically destroyed.

On Ukraine’s official Instagram, we’ve conjured documentary fairy tales, inspired by real-life foreign volunteers aiding during the war in Ukraine. It’s a unique blend of storytelling and illustrations, spotlighting the enduring spirit of resilience. As Ilia Anufrienko, the founder of the agency, says: “We wanted to tell about small and large deeds of real, not fictional, heroes. It’s a way to say ‘thank you’ – through stories about them.”

Some time ago it was impossible to draw anything, but war. It’s hard to describe that feeling of constant pain and anger, while seeing all the videos with destroyed buildings, knowing that people you love are in danger. It makes you feel numb. It led to the point, where you could not draw anything. So here are late office sketches, made some Friday for reconnecting with an inner self and putting all the love to women and sisterhood in something visible.

In partnership with the Ukrainian Leadership Academy and Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we crafted “Crime Without Punishment”, a 50-kilogram, 6,000-page book about Russia’s chilling crimes. Presented to global entities like NATO and the European Parliament, it highlights illicit deportation and indoctrination of Ukrainian children.

The island of Khortytsia is where Ukrainian history was born, an island of centuries-old history, amazing nature, and breathtaking secrets, myths and legends that have been forgotten for many years. We accepted the challenge to tell everyone about all the reasons to visit Khortytsia but decided to say practically not a word, leaving the mystery of the island intact and, moreover, making it the key feature of the identity program.

This project is a series of three prints, designed in support of the LGBTQ+ community in Ukraine. The shirt’s design is a Pride-themed interpretation of a Ukrainian “rushnyk” – or woven towel.
Traditionally used for ceremonial purposes like weddings, the “rushnyk” represents love, prosperity and patriotism. In this queer version, Pride and Trans flags are accompanied by the depiction of a queer couple holding hands.

Three figures. Hope(blue) Fear(pink) and Help (green).
Help is depicted by a green dog, symbolizing Pes Patron, the famous mine-detection Ukrainian doggo that became a popular meme and featured
in songs, cartoons, games, etc.
Also, there is a yellow star, which may look as 1. explosion, or 2. light at the end of a tunnel. It depends on who interacts with it: the figure representing Fear(pink) or Hope(blue)

The illustration depicts the victory of Ukraine over the Soviet regime and the establishment of its own identity and independence in 1991. Unfortunately, the struggle still continues, due to Russian aggression in 2022, Ukraine regains its independence from imperial Russia.

The illustration depicts a tragic event: a young Ukrainian soldier with the fear that his young life may end in the war for his native land due to Russian aggression.
