The Russian war of aggression poses new challenges to our defenders, requiring them to fight the enemy with the help of advanced equipment and technology. In order to raise funds for the purchase of 1,000 FPV drones for the newly formed strike group, we invite you to a mobile exhibition-auction as part of the "BUCHA 2022 MEMORIAL COMPLEX" project.
The works of a prominent Ukrainian artist are presented at the auction Lubomyra Martyniuk, master OL'SVOL'D, and of the Epoch auction house under the leadership of Fyodor Arkadiyovych Zernetskyi. Each work is a separate masterpiece that carries a drop of the Ukrainian spirit and art.
This exhibition is also decorated impressive military artifacts that were collected from various places of hostilities. Each object has its own unique history and symbolism, which encourages us to remember the heroism of our defenders.
Participants and visitors of the auction will be able to watch a short film about the Wings special forces unit, see and personally communicate with representatives of various combat units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Among those invited are representatives of business, government, media, public and volunteer associations, members of international organizations, and show business stars.
Join this noble initiative, because together we can help our defenders meet the challenges they face. Visit the exhibition-auction, make your contribution and support our heroes!
The auction takes place on February 9-26, 2023 at the Museum of History (7 Bohdana Khmelnytskogo str., Kyiv).
About the artists:
Lubomyr Martyniuk Liubomyr Martyniuk is a contemporary Ukrainian artist who works in the field of abstract painting. The artist was born in the village of Solotvyn in Ivano-Frankivsk region. He studied at the Department of Sacred and Monumental Painting at the Lviv National Academy of Arts. For a quarter of a century, the artist has painted about 10 thousand paintings that are exhibited in galleries and museums, complement the space of educational institutions and churches in Ukraine, and decorate numerous private collections of collectors abroad - in Norway, the Czech Republic, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The artist works in his studio at the M. Hryshko National Botanical Garden in Kyiv.
OL'SVOL'D - a Ukrainian artist who does not reveal his real name, is recognized precisely because of his creative individuality. The latter is based on his own philosophy. In 2009, he made a choice in favor of a spiritual path and self-realization in art. "Colors" are the artist's paintings, images and visualizations that are born in a special meditative state. OL'SVOL'D TSVETNOSTI was presented at large-scale festivals, in galleries in Nice, London, Batumi, Washington, Paris, Basel, Rome and Miami.
Flotilla of FPV drones:
The special unit of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense "Kryla" is creating its own flotilla of FPV kamikaze drones. Today, this type of drones has become a truly revolutionary means of combat. After all, FPV (First Person View) drones provide an opportunity to collect invaluable intelligence information and are literally used as sniper weapons from a distance of up to 10 kilometers. Installed cameras and modern means of communication allow the operator to control the aircraft in "real time" mode, while remaining at a safe distance. This helps preserve the lives of our Defenders and effectively destroy enemy equipment and personnel.
"BUCHA 2022 MEMORIAL COMPLEX" project:
The project was initiated by the charitable organizations of the same name, which united with the aim of holding international auctions in the territory of the city of Buchi, online auctions for the sale of works of art and military artifacts to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, popularization of monuments and evidence of Russian aggression in the territory of the Buchan community and the territory of Ukraine and armed conflict in 2022, the development of the region's infrastructure and the consolidation of Ukrainian society.
