Help Save Ukraine’s Endangered Art Heritage!

ART COLLECTIONS OF UKRAINIAN MASTERS

Preserving Three Exceptional Collections of Ukrainian Art

We are seeking support to preserve and relocate three exceptional art collections from Ukraine — each representing a vital part of the region’s modern and spiritual heritage:

From Canvas to Couture


Excited to share a new direction where art meets fashion — bringing my original painting to life on this vibrant, statement-making coat.


Art is not only meant to hang on walls — it can move, breathe, and walk into the world. This piece represents more than just a print; it’s a conversation between creativity and wearable expression.


Designed to reflect the rhythm, color, and emotion of the original artwork, this coat embodies the idea that fashion can be both a canvas and a gallery.


I’d love to explore more collaborations that turn fine art into bold design — whether in apparel, accessories, or home décor.

Born in Ukraine, Kiev, Yuri painted tirelessly from the 1930s until the 1990s, representing the older generation of Kievan artists of the twentieth century.


He was also among those who became close to Kazimir Malevich. Yuri was sensitive to the rhythm of tones, to the beauty of nature which illuminates his paintings. Poet of landscapes, he lived alongside the great painters of his time and naturally leaned towards the world of music which found an echo in his soul. For many years he collected the designs of ballet and opera decorators. Through his rich collection can be found the virtuosity of a star cluster of painters who continue the tradition of Léon Bakst and Kazimir Malevich opening the door to an era of timeless modernity.

The Ring of Faith
Truth will set you free.

Take a look at the canvas, whether it resembles a dense crown of buildings, through which sunshine brightens. The non-flashing light of St. Peter's Cathedral! The Light of Faith! Belief in the future without armed conflicts, inequalities in the world, condemnation of the tyranny of money, and the need to find faith in God in the modern digital age. The light of the sacrificial love of the Almighty for mankind, to those living and dying on Earth, is present in The Ring of Faith.
