The Sculptures
“Who would want an amputated sculpture sitting in their living room? But maybe a rabbit in a turtleneck sweater would be just right.”

The GOLD Series
Art that Stands for Something
“The "GOLD" series of sculptures was created in response to russia's unprovoked and unjustified brutal military aggression against Ukraine, which is a flagrant violation of international law.
It is important to honour and support everyone in our society, no matter who they are or what they have done. We must remember the fallen and support the survivors. It is vital to recognise that no one should have to face hardship alone. By helping each other, we can show what it means to be human. We are bound together by compassion, respect and community.
In the context of the artwork 'Standpoint', the national emblem of Ukraine is the trident. Its hand gesture consists of three fingers up, ring, middle and index. This gesture was used by the politician Vyacheslav Chornovil to represent the shape of the trident. This is the price of taking a stand.”

"We must remember the fallen and support the survivors."
“The "GOLD" series of sculptures was created in response to russia's unprovoked and unjustified brutal military aggression against Ukraine, which is a flagrant violation of international law."
Each sculpture is handcrafted in Dnipro, Ukraine, using traditional techniques and locally sourced materials. We work primarily with: Clay– hand-modeled and kiln-fired, Plaster and gypsum – cast, modelled, Ceramic glazes and coatings – for texture, durability and colour, a special golden-metallic effect glaze – used symbolically in selected works (GOLD series). Every piece is made without digital modeling or mass production.
A Rabbit in a Turtleneck and More Art
“Who would want an amputated sculpture sitting in their living room? But maybe a rabbit in a turtleneck sweater would be just right.”
These words by Nadiia resonate as we discuss her desire to use the sale of her sculptures for a greater cause.
The diversity in both the techniques and the subject matter of the artists is truly astonishing. Among their creations, you'll find rabbits dressed in cozy turtlenecks.
Currently, Nadiia and Fedir are working on a series that captures the heads of local artists and friends from Dnipro. Rather than focusing on the famous figures, as is often the norm in visual arts, they want to showcase the people of their city.
It’s a powerful statement about the everyday individuals who live in a country ravaged by war, honoring those who stand beside them in resilience and spirit.
