I drew this pic of sunset in Kharkiv village two years ago. Now it reminds me about peaceful sky under my country, unharmed town and lovely springtime. My life is divided into before and after. But I still hope forever Ukraine will be safe and free. Our enemy is huge and terrifying at first sight. But he doesn’t have the main things. He doesn’t have unity and truth. We are on our land and we’ll protect it. Slava Ukraini.
Фенріс-бандурист. Підримую українську хвилю творчості. Освоюю потроху Procreate, скетчу і надіюся завершити цю роботу також в Procreate, шоб пощупати можливості програми, бо поки шо мені подобається)

“Як натягне найтемнішу ніч над Світязем, і стихнуть співи, муркотіння й шум - почне у берега плести дівчина, намотуючи на пальці місячне сяйво.
А дівка люба до очей, вся білолиця й чорноброва - та тільки очі мертві, та руки чорні. Русалка - ім'я їй, берегиня озера - титул її.
Та русалка - чи то засватана мертвиця, чи то нехрещена дівиця, чи позабута утоплениця.
Хто сунеться туди - ніколи вже не знайде дороги назад.”
Волинський стрій включав у себе жіночі сорочки, що завершувалися внизу рукава манжетом, який називали «чохлик». Крім того, сорочки мали досить різні комірці. Сорочка здебільшого була коротша за спідницю.
Найчастіше у сорочках вишивались комір, полики, рукави, чохли, інколи й манишка. В орнаменті переважали геометричні елементи - ромби або геометризовані квіти-розети. Вишивали переважно чорними та червоними нитками, проте в кінці 19 - на початку 20 ст. у вишивці починає переважати рослинний орнамент і багатоколірність.
Нагрудний одяг одягали безпосередньо на сорочку. Він прикривав верхню частину фігури й виразно впливав на загальний силует. Шили його переважно без рукавів. На Волині побутувала коротка до стану безрукавка – так звані «горсет», «станік», «шнуровиця». Найбільш поширеними кольорами такого нагрудного одягу були: зелений, вишневий, синій, чорний. Їх декорували смугами іншої тканини, тасьмою, вишивкою.
Commissioned this art piece of Ukrainian Mayura from my friend Pani Wolf two years ago, but I haven’t shared it here until now.
She’s wearing a traditional wedding headpiece from Velykyi Kluchiv (Kolomyia raion, Ivano-Frankivsk oblast). Those are usually made with geese feathers, but are intended to invoke a peacock tail. (You can sometimes see peacock feathers used in modern wedding headpieces from around Kolomyia).
Peahens (пави) in Ukrainian folklore are usually associated with love, as in a song “Ой, летіла пава”, or femininity, as in a carol “По горі, по горі пави ходили” (you can listen to DakhaBrakha’s arrangement here). The last one might also have been a matchmaking or wedding song at some point before becoming a carol, but that’s a discussion for a better time.
That was roughly my motivation behind commissioning this piece, and I’m really grateful to the artist for making her look so confident and beautiful
Honoring the memory of artist, designer and KGB dissident Lyubov Panchenko. She died in Bucha from hunger and shelling due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. She was 85 years old.
Nearly 400 Ukrainians, including children, were raped by russian soldiers during the war. Many of the cases were made by groups of men. These monsters don’t deserve neither to live a peaceful life nor die quickly.

mashareva Today I’ve got a message from previous life where I was working as an artist on the latest @harrystyles video directed by @tanumuino and wonderful talented team !
It feels surreal.
A month before the war began I rented quite spacious space in order to transform it to my art-studio in Kyiv, renovation was in full mode, I dreamed of moving in and how I’ll be working there creating this kind of big scale artworks.
I have no doubt this will happen very soon when we win and Ukraine will blossom like this magic forest on my drawing !
For your tremendous contribution to our volunteer work, I want to repay you with something useful and unique. One tier - all content!
50% of my income from Patreon will go towards the donation pool for Ukraine.
With this, I also hope to cover some of my essential expenses like rent and health insurance. So that I could devote more time to our volunteer work and ease the stress from commercial projects a little bit by drawing more personal art and fan art. ❤️
Hello everyone! My name is Anna Moshak, I am a Ukrainian freelance artist who currently works from Germany. After the full-scale invasion began, my friends and I created a volunteer group that delivers humanitarian aid to Ukrainians and animals affected by war.
Almost all of our volunteers (except for me ;_;) are in Ukraine and directly engaged in purchasing and delivering items. For example, here is a very (VERY) small part of animal food that we have already purchased and distributed:
Of the things that can be highlighted, we dealing with:
- Pet food, carriers, bowls, toilets.
- Medicine and food for people
- Sleeping bags, blankets, fire extinguishers
- Clothing, food, and shoes for our soldiers.
But we need constant funding. That’s why I’m organizing a fundraiser. You can send donations to PayPal [email protected]
Сomment:Donation for Ukraine.
This is my Ukrainian PayPal, which I created for donations to make everything easier and faster.
For regular photo and video reports you can subscribe to our volunteer http://instagram.com/streallow/, who is directly involved in purchasing and delivering everything. You can also check out my Twitter, where I post regular updates: https://twitter.com/AizelKonArt
That’s it! Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated to us volunteered, or just encouraged us with a good word. I will remember for the rest of my life the people who supported me and my country in this hour. Thank you. We will definitely win.
