The most beautiful and, at the same time, slightly bittersweet part of creating a painting is signing it The painting is finished, and the signature becomes its final touch At that moment, I realize that the long journey we’ve been on together has come to an end …👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Hi from Kyiv, #FELLAS! I’m still taking pre-orders for the 'Ivan Bohdan' records & I’m happy to say that 10 people have already ordered theirs! If you’d like to get this mix of punk & Ukrainian folk on vinyl, just leave a comment and I’ll get in touch with you! Thanks 💿🪈🇺🇦🎸

I missed it. Was busy with the ‘we have electricity’ routine. Earlier today, Ukrainians across the country and around the world wrote the same text at the same time. It’s the annual National Unity Radio Dictation. This year’s text, The Letter That Never Ends, was written by 🇺🇦 writer Artur Dron.

Late October morning in Kyiv. We were under attack last night. Once again (I’ve lost count), ‘my’ bridge was hit. It’s closed to cars and metro trains. I’m making a warcoffee. Electricity is back. Just for a few hours. So, life has its treats, for sure.

Kyiv is under ballistic missile attack. Unscheduled power cut. A new EcoFlow (portable power station) was delivered a few minutes ago as the previous one was saying goodbye. Life.

Today I took warm socks out of the drawer. The woollen ones the Lady with Golden Hands knitted in the last years of her life. Every time I pass the place where she used to sell them, I sigh. Her smile... It's getting colder in Kyiv.

…a teddy bear for children, as a gift during the evacuation of kids from the life-threatening cities of my country. This has never happened before, but it is driven by the experience of war and by care-care above all. Children come into this world, yet they see such different realities. Ukraine…

A new Sunday Letter from Kyiv was sent to members. This week, I shared what caught my attention, what made me stop and think, and how I see life in Kyiv during war. If you missed it, you can find it here: www.patreon.com/strategywoma...

Friends! For the first time ever, my music is coming to full-size vinyl! I’m gearing up to release my single “Ivan Bohdan (The Legend of the First Ukrainian 🇺🇦 in America 🇺🇸)”, where I fused Ukrainian folk and punk.

Drone debris falls on Kyiv like steel rain. The mayor keeps us informed about the damage it causes. We pretend we have umbrellas to hide under. Saturday evening. Drone attack again. I look out of the window to check whether it’s raining or not.

Grey morning in Kyiv. What a joy to learn that metro trains cross the Dnipro River over ‘my’ bridge again. Yesterday, it was quite a challenge for me to get to the right bank of the city. But I met interesting people and brought rainy beauty in the pockets of my phone.

#FELLAS! Night from Kyiv! The first ‘IVAN BOHDAN’ vinyl pressing is happening!!! I’m still taking pre-orders! If anyone wants one, leave a comment or send me a DM! Thanks everyone! BOOST🪈🇺🇦🎸💿

Rainy day in Kyiv. But I do love rain. To stand under a tree without an umbrella. To listen to the heavy sound of drops falling from the leaves. You won’t see it in the media or perhaps anywhere else. There is autumn in Kyiv. Autumn.

Zelensky: in Ukraine Starlink now cuts out above 161 km/h, and we lose the drone. Ukraine drove Starlink terminals at 180+ km/h in the EU and they kept working. In the Vivaldi counteroffensive, Starlink controlled our drones, bombers and ground robots.

Today is a big day for me! Exactly three weeks after its release, my new Ukrainian folk-punk single, “Ivan Bohdan (The Legend of the First Ukrainian 🇺🇦 in America 🇺🇸),” has reached 1,000 streams on Spotify! Thank you all so much for your support! It truly means a lot to me!

Loneliness This photo was taken by Ukrainian photographer Anna Biletska, now based in Sweden, in 2019. It caught my attention immediately at the art fair. But then I found her website. The Nature Art, Venice and Street Color series are so good annabiletska.com/gallery

There are days in the creative process when you work on a painting and barely notice any changes But the most important thing is to take photos or record videos of the process, so that whenever those thoughts creep in, you can look back and see where you started and how far you’ve come …👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

The new Zelenskyy interview with Steven Bartlett is one of the best he has ever given. ​I know it’s a bit long, but if you have time to watch the whole thing, I highly recommend it. ​Steven gives Zelenskyy the space to share the human cost and real emotions

Kyiv. Evening. I don’t like this feeling of waiting for the power to go off. The schedule says 7:30 pm. The power cut is late and could come at any second without knocking. So, I’m turning into a woman with a flashlight wondering where her power cut is wandering.

Zelenskyy: “Just imagine, there are Ukrainian children who have never known peace. That’s absolutely horrifying. Many children in Ukraine, including among the fallen, have never lived in peace. We lived in a different time. We understand what it’s like to live without sirens, shelling, and

Morning in Kyiv after the night attack. I woke up early to make a warcoffee, wash and dry my hair before the power outage. My sleep was chopped up by explosions. russians hit the metro infrastructure on ‘my’ bridge. So, once again, metro trains aren’t crossing the Dnipro River over it.

Midnight in Kyiv soon. Ballistic missile threat again. A bit earlier, explosions shook the air. It definitely looks like the end of the war 🙃 Soon. In 24 hours. Next year. Sometime.

Four centuries ago, a legendary traveler from Kolomyia made history. According to Ukrainian lore, Ivan Bohdan was the first from our lands to reach American shores.

Kyiv. Evening. The generators are singing outside. And all these talks, meetings, and negotiations seem a bit ridiculous to me in Kyiv, surrounded by the sound of resistance, and reading about the end of August 1939.

Dear friends! Thanks to your amazing support and all your requests, I’ve decided to release a limited edition of vinyl records celebrating my new single, 'Ivan Bohdan (The Legend of the First Ukrainian 🇺🇦 in America 🇺🇸)', and the EP 'The Legend of Ivan Bohdan'…🔽

Perhaps it didn’t make the news in your media. Yesterday, russia damaged the Book Chamber of Ukraine in Kyiv. It holds 15+ million books, newspapers, magazines and maps published in Ukraine since 1917. The collections are now at risk from moisture. Windows in the storage areas were blown out.

The only way to achieve peace in Ukraine is to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We have almost closed this fundraiser for my FPV guys in the regiment - so that they have generators, power stations and Starlinks before the winter. Thank you for all the support!

I’m so happy that thanks to Ivan Bohdan, Ukrainian 🇺🇦 folk instruments are being heard around the world! These sopilkas will soon be making their way to the USA & Germany 🇺🇸🇩🇪 Want one of your own? Send me a DM!

I adapted. I did. Air raid alert. Drone threat in Kyiv. I’m having a warcoffee and choosing a book of the week. It’s a beautiful bookstore that opened recently.

Things are so messed up in the world. I stopped and looked at autumn. My mum wrote that drones caused damage in my hometown. She is fine. I filmed colourful leaves. Kyiv is preparing to get some rest, but rest is not the thing here. Beauty gives me some.

In “Ivan Bohdan (The Legend of the First Ukrainian 🇺🇦 in America 🇺🇸),” we combined five Ukrainian folk instruments & punk rock guitars, bringing a 400-year-old legend to a wider audience for the very first time! And a reminder: on October 30…🔽

New creations. 5 cm, hand-painted. Obsessed with art and the whole creative process❤️🎨🇺🇦

Kyiv. Monday morning. Reading updates. The news collided like two trains. CNN Travel included Kyiv’s metro among the world’s best. One metro station in Kyiv was damaged during last night’s russian attack. Two surface stations were closed.
