Newsreader
The illustration was drawn when the author moved abroad because of the war started by Russia, and her family stayed in Ukraine. Every day she spent more than 5 hours on the phone, following every news item, hoping that her loved ones were safe.
Child
The poster is dedicated to the parents who lost their children because of Russia’s attack on Ukraine.
“Lay your head to rest”
There’s only one way to rest on the battlefield.
Dark Matter
I took photographs in the Kyiv region after a full-scale Russian offensive in 2022. These photographs are a visual dialogue with the drawings of artist and Bauhaus teacher Lionel Feininger. Lionel painted them during the First World War. Reality in his works is based not on the depiction of observed impressions, but on the transformation of perceptions into spatial and plastic, multidimensional structures.

Memory cards
During the Russian occupation of the city of Irpen, soldiers on the Alley of Heroes shoot away portraits of fallen soldiers in the East of Ukraine. The Russians were aiming at the memory of the Ukrainians. Memory is not material, it cannot be destroyed.
Punched cards are the first storage devices of the 20th century.
Let’s fly away
This bird represents Ukraine: unbroken, elegant and beautiful, flying forward, with disconnected parts that still belong to it.
Ukraine: 50 symbols of resistance. A book about personalities, events and even memes of our struggle
This book tells 50 stories. Each of them touched the whole country of Ukraine. Some boosted morale, others provided entertainment even in the toughest days. Many shocked the whole world with their tragedy. Ukraine: 50 symbols of resistance takes a close look at the important images, events, personalities, and even memes that emerged from this war. The book was published in Ukrainian and English with 50 unique illustrations by Mari Kinovych. All money from sales goes to charity.
Unbreakable heart of home
The most difficult period since the beginning of the full-scale invasion was to leave my hometown. Many of my fellow citizens are experiencing this now, and it hurts us. These illustrations are the iconic places of my home, which for me, for the residents of Kharkiv and all Ukrainians become symbols of the invincibility of our country. Kharkiv, I love you infinitely, you are my heart and soul.
A limited collection of sweaters dedicated to the regions of Ukraine
Our collection was dedicated to the historical and ethnographic regions of Ukraine — from East to West, from South to North. In this collection, we celebrate the landscapes and the uniqueness of our country. All sweaters were sold at charity auctions, and their design gave a start to other collections — of scarves and blankets.
I know that you know.
The one measure of true love is: you can insult the other.
Chickens
Fishman
When we walk with our own feet but are guided by someone else’s will – we become a fish on the hook.
Eve
Drawing for me is freedom of expression. Nothing extra – no bunch of materials, tools, frames and paints – just a pen, paper and you. Anywhere and anytime. In drawing, I can go with the flow, putting aside the planning and preparatory work. It’s like singing, only with your hands.
Werkbundarchiv—Museum der Dinge
The Werkbundarchiv – Museum der Dinge (“Museum of Things”) has to say “goodbye Kreuzberg,” the location where the museum has been firmly rooted for 17 years. The reason is the termination of the museum’s premises by an anonymous real estate fund.
The museum will remain open at Oranienstraße 25 until November 5th, 2023. You can support them with your visit during the last 10 weeks!
They warmly invite you to their exhibitions, events, guided tours, and workshops at their Kreuzberg location. The forced departure serves as an opportunity for the museum to focus on the topic of urban development, among other things.

Ukrainian Workers During the War
A series of illustrations dedicated to Ukrainian workers during the russian invasion. Surgeons, firefighters, electrical workers, train attendants and many more… They still do their job every day despite the danger, shelling and blackouts.
Coal flower, the terricon
The work is homage to ‘Coal flower’ mosaic by Alla Horska. The mosaic is located in Sorokine town, Luhansk region (currently occupated by Russians). It’s a dream to see it, especially for Yulia — she was a refugee from Donbas since 2014.
