Yuliya Tveritina – Academician of the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, master of linear painting, graphic artist, and illustrator. Julia is from Kyiv. For many years she has been living and working in Suzhou (China). From the first days of the war the artist began to keep an art diary of the war.
My personal nightmare - the phosphorus bombs. This is the only picture in whole diary series that doesn't tell any story, because, thanksGod, none of my friends encountered phosphorus in this war. Some days ago I saw a video of a phosphorus attack, it is absolutely beautiful visually, but just as disgusting and terrible.
It doesn't matter to me who, and when, and under what circumstances uses this - I consider it a crime against humanity. When something like this falls from the sky, you can think just: we saw it in films and read it in books, but we can’t do anything about it, we are doomed, it’s like a natural disaster and it’s stronger than us.
