By selling this artwork, I would like to express my full support for the Ukrainian people. Eight years ago, January 2014, I was in Florence when I started to work on this mini-series of pictures to make sense of my bewilderment for the pacific Maidan Square manifestations and the following armed guerriglia after the police crack-down. I was in touch with my friend Darya, artist and activist in Maidan at the time, and her witness touched me deeply. Some weeks later, 20 Feb 2014, Russia invaded Crimea and annexed it. After such a paradoxical ending, the war in the South-Eastern region of Donbas broke out. I’m selling the coloured paintings starting from 450€, while the black and white ink paintings from 250€.

These paintings below are made with china ink on paper. They are part of a series of landscapes which I saw during my three-day bike ride from my home town to the seaside through the Italian Alps in North-Western Italy. My intention was to show the sequence of unspooling landscapes which we witnessed during the ride. I started to make sketches while we were on our journey and then completed the series for an exhibition I was asked to do at one local bookshop

Darya and I met in Duino, Trieste (Italy) in 2007 when we both won a scholarship to attend an international school called the United World Colleges. She was the first person my age I had ever met with a fierce artistic spirit and a rigorous drawing and painting practice. She also taught me the basics of draughtsmanship, giving me the mindset and structure to understand how to do it. She is also the person I always have in mind whenever I paint. Some of her paintings I recall depicted Ukrainian traditional costumes’ patterns and what struck me then was how meaningful these colorful geometries were to her, as an integral part of her personal and national identity. Supporting Ukraine right now not only means of course to help the country defend itself, its identity and its people better, but also to encourage a form of resistance against the likes of oppressive super powers that make up our post-imperialist global society.
