Ukrainian Nativity Scene (Wertep/Vertep) is based on Ukrainian nativity tradition which is still preserved in some Ukrainian villages. A puppet or costume theater along with caroling is used to immerse into special Christmas atmosphere by dressing up as main religious characters and evil powers, although this tradition dates back to Pagan times.
Evil demons do not sleep, they are hiding behind angelic characters. Their faces are covered by masks of goats wearing goat skins.

My works are a reflection of different emotional states through personification and metaphors. The paintings depict animals that are partly totemic for me, accompanying both joyful and unpleasant moments of life.

When the full-scale invasion began i understand that people need support, support in all things that u can image. One of these supports is the coverage of what is being in our country, and as we know, the more accurate and good this “coverage” is, the more general it becomes

I have pain because of this war and my own losses. Losses on which I reflect and try to understand how to continue living. I’m trying to figure out what will help me be strong now.
To have harmony within. I have been working with Barbie since 2020. However, I have now focused on portraits of dolls in landscapes. After all, nature is life, which moves in a circle from birth to death and vice versa.

Meet “Together”, an experimental display font where each letter is connected, representing unity. It includes Latin, Cyrillic, and symbols for a versatile communication experience.

Artworks from the «SACRED SYMBOLS» series are created based on the author’s traditional sculptures and exist in NFT format. Astian Rey experiments with the method of digital collage and the construction of symmetry, using various fragments of sculptures taken from his own photographic archive.

A personal project.
The tiger is a symbol of 2022, and also a symbol of the resilience and strength of the Ukrainian people. A spark of invincibility and strength flickers in its eyes.
