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.
March 29, Kyiv. Utility workers are laying sandbags n The Princess Olga monument on Mikhailovskaya Square in order to protect it in case of shelling. Princess Olga is known as a woman who solved problems decisively, categorically, in the most radical way possible, and, probably, without any regrets.
The girls in the foreground are my good friends - sisters Nastya and Dasha, who live nearby in a beautiful old house with high ceilings, stucco and a 1814 chandelier. They refused to leave when Kyiv was attacked (shelled ... it's so strange to still realize it) because (attention!) they had nowhere to put an aquarium with goldfish. Well, OK. Should I call it fearlessness?
