Viva Ukraine! British Entrepreneur Celebrates Ukraine in Art

Pressbox (Press Release) -
International travel artist Julia Gash has collaborated with a British based Ukrainian organisation: Ukrainian Events in London, to raise funds for the nation’s refugees and to create a unique art print of Ukraine that celebrates its landscape, cultural identity and positive spirit.
The contemporary illustration, drawn in patriotic blue and yellow, features the iconic Monument of Independence in Kyiv, a symbol of Ukraine’s fight for freedom. Sunflowers, the country’s national flower, dot the landscape. A nightingale, a popular icon of Ukraine, calls for freedom whilst a tractor pulls a tank, referencing the powerful street art created by its people, and which recognises that in the Ukraine, this is everyone’s fight.
Julia says: “It is inconceivable for me to continue to discover and draw places around the world without being affected by the invasion of Ukraine and catastrophic consequences of Russia’s act of aggression against one of its neighbours. I therefore decided to create a piece of art that will enable people across the world to share their support for the Ukraine as well as helping refugees to remember their homeland as they try to recover from the trauma and loss of war.”
Julia is donating the proceeds from the sale of her Ukraine art print to the people of Ukraine, through the non-for-profit organisation: Ukrainian Events in London. As such, sales of the Ukraine art print will help to support the nation’s refugees in Britain as well as people who have been displaced by the war back home in the Ukraine.
The Ukraine, giclee art print, printed onto archival paper, is available to buy from her eponymous online shop, as well as Etsy and Amazon and online trade platform Faire.
