Barcelona hosted the exhibition “Generation of War. The Fourth Year,” which featured about 200 works by artists of all generations from across Ukraine. The exhibition was presented at Virrei Amat Square as part of the 11th International Festival of Ukrainian Culture “Ucrania Fest,” which took place on September 9-15 in Spain.
The exhibition featured a catalog of selected works from the Generation of War art marathon, which was presented to partners in Spain and also sent to the Consulate General of Ukraine in Barcelona.
The exhibition in Barcelona is a project of the art marathon “Generation of War,” which collects artistic evidence of the war and shows it to the world, calling for support for Ukraine. The art marathon has been running since December 2023 and is planned to continue until the end of the war. The art marathon exhibitions are held continuously in the center of Kyiv near the Arch of Freedom of the Ukrainian People, and then presented in different countries. Through their creativity, Ukrainians show the world the most valuable quality of humanity: transforming pain and horror into beauty.
Among the works of the art marathon are works by defenders of Ukraine and children of military personnel, young and adult artists who have been living under bombardment in their cities and villages for four years, internally displaced persons, and those who were forced to leave their homeland—each of them, in their own way, fights every day for victory over the aggressor and for peace in Ukraine.
The art marathon is part of the MAЛЮЙ.UA.WAR International Art Festival, the only cultural initiative in Ukraine that has been running continuously since the first week of the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation. It is the unique project in the world that uses art to analyze the change in consciousness of different generations during the current long-term war, conducted with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Strategic Communications of Ukraine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, and the Kyiv city authorities.
My painting «Destroyed house in Dnipro. Horror of the war» was part of this exhibition

On 21 August, the exhibition ‘Draw Me a Poem by Lina Kostenko’ opened in Kyiv in the hall of the multifunctional centre of the Pechersk District State Administration. This art project brought together contemporary Ukrainian artists around the poetry of an outstanding modern poet.
Many guests attended the opening. People came to see how poetry is transformed into images, how Lina Kostenko’s poems come to life in colour, texture and light.
Many artists joined the exhibition. Each of their works is a personal interpretation of Lina Kostenko’s poetry, a visual response to her words that touch the depths of the soul. Together, they create a mosaic of contemporary Ukrainian art that speaks the language of images. The exhibition ‘Draw Me a Poem by Lina Kostenko’ will run until 31 August in the halls of the Pechersk District State Administration (Kyiv). Admission is free.
