КІНО1928 typeface
The people of Ukraine are focused on fighting back and resisting the aggressor. But we also focus on rebuilding and reviving what had been destroyed either during current war, but also during the terror times of soviet union, which we were a colony of. Kino typeface is an attempt to bring the attention back to Ukrainian modernism which is the root of all the eastern modernism that the world wrongly labeled “russian modernism”.
creative journal
The gist of this project, basically is that it serves to me as a creative diary, a textbook where I could structurize my creative reflections on… anything. Sometime later, when I’m 300 years old and this diary is much thicker I will print it and treat it as my memoir. Its not as big yet, but steadily growing. There are more spreads I can provide.
Gardens of Eden
The animation was created from an Picture- Oil Painting on Wood.
Heute ist besser
The world is better than it thinks.
Just because bad news attracts more attention doesn’t mean the world is getting worse. In his latest project, international creative star Stefan Sagmeister explores the question of whether everything really was better in the past …
He researches facts about the state of the world in the past and today—numbers that encourage!—and transforms them into meaningful infographics. He buys oil paintings from supposedly better times and turns them into “data carriers” for his diagrams with a scalpel and skilled craftsmanship. This is how good news becomes works of art.
Stefan Sagmeister has mastered the art of vizualising the good in the world. With Heute ist besser, he delivers a book full of courage and confidence. In it, he documents his work, shares his thoughts and experiences with readers, and spreads dedicated optimism.
Make room for the beautiful and the good! In your thoughts and on your bookshelf: this book can be a first step!

The lost worlds
The region’s landscapes and sunsets, which delight Juliana on a daily basis, have become a source of inspiration for her, giving her paintings even more vivid colors.All the presented works are real paintings on canvases, painted with pastels and acryliс.
Sequence
Things in sequence, or regular order, are arranged sequentially. Most novels and films move sequentially, but some use techniques such as flashbacks that interrupt the movement forward in time. This work is about this break in time, when you catch a moment of happiness no matter what.
Nuclear Terror
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, russian forces occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the biggest NPP in Europe, they established bases and defensive positions next to the reactor units and threatened the whole world with a nuclear catastrophe.

Save Ukrainian children
This poster is dedicated to the protection of Ukrainian children. Children of Ukraine have experienced violence, trauma, loss, destruction and forced displacement since the beginning of the war in February 2022. Millions of children were robbed of their birthday celebrations, school memories, and time with friends and family. They lost their homes, schools and playgrounds.
Poster design for Kyiv-based ensemble UKHO
These posters represent the Kyiv-based ensemble UKHO, known for their specialization in contemporary academic music. I worked on developing UKHO’s visual identity through poster design from 2017 to 2020. My primary objective was to leave a lasting and artistic impression of the ensemble. This specific set of posters from the 2018-2019 season captures the ensemble’s distinctive expressiveness and niche in the music world.

Ukraine 3
This composition combines a trident, typography and ethnic elements in a modern way. The color scheme consists of traditional colors – yellow, blue, as a symbol of the flag, and red, as one of the main colors of the embroidery.
Ukraine 2
I created this poster inspired by Ukrainian avant-garde art. The pattern composed with the shapes and elements from fragments of paintings different avant-garde artists such as K. Malevich, G. Narbut, V. Ermilov, B. Kosarev. I think that this area of art has a great interest, both in Ukraine and abroad.
Ukraine
This concept design is based on traditional Ukrainian ornament, its ethnic peculiarity. The inspiration for me was the research of the prominent Ukrainian artist M. Samokish (1860-1944), who created the publishing project “Motifs of the Ukrainian ornament”. The artist traveled to Ukraine and copied various elements of national ornaments, which were then included in the book. In this pattern I’ve mixed elements of traditional ornaments with modernist graphics.
Synesthetic Tesseract: Embarking into the (Un)known
Imagine if this artwork captured the very essence of complexity, volatility, and uncertainty encapsulated in the AI-Human loop’s curational process. How might this realm manifest? What emotions would it evoke? The image’s ambiance seeks to convey the sensation of a deluge of variations, generously conjured by AI, with individuals striving to navigate these elevated dimensions in pursuit of meaningful outcomes.
scream from inside
In this piece, the author poured out her own pain, weariness, and the cries of her soul. It delves into that feeling when you’re utterly powerless, when emotions engulf you to the point where all you can do is scream. Sometimes, the only way to let out that scream is through the canvas of paper, using narrative, colors, and forms.
Destructive Entities
Destructive Entities is a compositional case study of the chaotic nature of disastrous formations, the byproduct russian invasion of Ukraine, in the pursuit of compositional inspirations and geometrical syntaxes chasing the new notion of vernacular context-based architecture.
The work reflects and questions the state of the ruins in the aftermath of the war, with more and more architectures transitioning into ashes daily the inevitable question is posed – what is the future of ruins?
For the first time?
Experience is learned through pain. Because only those who do nothing that make no mistakes.
Peaceful Night
The author started to draw mooses at Christmas postcards for friends and family because she loved the holiday. But with time the moose became a humanised image and the author created a whole #moosemaniacart universe. Unfortunately this is one of the last happy universe drawings before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. After February 2022 the author experiences deep emotional crisis.

ВОЛЯ (VOLIA)
When you look at this poster, you are a free bird that flies over a free Ukraine. You can see steppes, mountains, and rivers. You can fly very high or go down and almost touch the ground. You can speed up so the image below will blur or slow down and hover above the ground, examining all the tiny details.
This poster is a flight of your imagination that can last as long as you want.
VOLIA is a fusion of the English words “strength,” “intention,” “will,” and and “freedom.”
in the darkness
Stop russian agression
On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded and occupied parts of Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War, which had begun in 2014. The invasion has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths on both sides, and instigated Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II.
This poster is dedicated to the courage of the Ukrainian people, who defend their freedom and independence.
