On the occasion of the Day of Defenders of Ukraine, the opening of the exhibition “Heroes Among Us” — capturing the faces of our freedom.
We invite you to visit the personal exhibition of Ukrainian artist Tetyana Sosulina (née Bayda-Usenko), dedicated to Ukrainian soldiers — those who hold the sky above us.
This exposition is not just about paintings. It is a profound tribute to comrades-in-arms, defenders, and fellow artists who traded their paintbrushes and everyday lives for weapons.
What makes these works unique?
The canvases for the portraits are wooden lids from ammunition crates brought directly from the front lines.
The artistic style echoes traditional icon painting: the author uses gesso (levkas), collage, and gold acrylic.
The imagery is complemented by elements of textile mosaic and fragments of authentic camouflage nets, creating a unique “riza” (revetment) for each story.
Come and experience the synergy of pain, resilience, and unshakeable faith in Victory.
