Be Brave Art Show

Do we hope that everyone has already read the interview with our beautiful Art By Natasha Kanevski? If you don't - hurry up 😊

Thanks to the wonderful people who help us spread our ideas and Brave Ukrainian art, we are opening a series of interviews, where we will tell more about this so-inspiring project for us!

Will be in touch!
Very soon announcements of new wonderful events...

Meet Natasha Kanevski We recently connected with Natasha Kanevski and have shared our conversation below. Natasha, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand? The mission of my last project, B...

Like the whole world, we are thrilled that, at last, Orest's family, like hundreds of other Heroes of Azovstal, can breathe, as their Heroes, after months of captivity, are finally Home!🇺🇦

But at the same time, thousands of others are still being held in russian captivity and being tortured, and only through joint efforts and publicity can we bring all our Heroes home!

We thank all our donors and buyers for their support and remind you that the works are available on our website, and now is the time to support a real Hero! 💙💛

The main part of our exposition dedicated to the defense of Mariupol was the most emotional for us as well as for hundreds of our visitors
No one could look away or hold back tears in front of the heroism and tragedy that are illustrated by the photo of Dmitry Kozatsky (callsign Orest)
No one could remain indifferent to the invincible hope
And no one remained the same after this reflashing experience...

It is a great honor to present these bottomlessly deep and talented works! And our mission is to show these photos to as many people as possible until the most unconditional Victory! 🇺🇦

The art and the artist.

We are so proud that our project, "BE BRAVE Art Show," was invited by the Consulate General of Ukraine in Houston and personally Consul General of Ukraine in Houston Vitalii Tarasiuk as the leading exhibition on the 31st anniversary of Ukraine's independence celebration.
Typically this main state holiday in modern Ukrain is celebrated with concerts and parades, but this time the Consulate General of Ukraine in Houston and the World Affairs Council of Greater Houston held our "BE BRAVE Art Show" to demonstrate the spirit of the Ukrainian people in their battle for independence.

It was a one-of-a-kind opportunity to present our BE BRAVE Art Show to representatives of the diplomatic corps who attended the event, members of Congress and senators, representatives of big business, and the Ukrainian community in Texas.

BE BRAVE Art Show is a large-scale exhibition of stunning, young, touching artworks created by well-known and emerging contemporary Ukrainian artists during the ongoing war.
Be Brave featured more than 60 engaging works from over 30 artists at this event.
🎉And we are thrilled to announce that almost half of the artworks were sold that evening. 🎉 Thank you all for supporting Ukrainian culture!

During the official part of the event, the Consulate General of Ukraine in Houston received official congratulations from Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a resolution signed by over 60 Texas members of Congress presented by Congressman Tan Parker, a separate proclamation from Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw, proclamation sharing from Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, and a special mention from Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson, and letter of congratulations from the mayor San Antonio by Ron Nirenberg.
Thanks for the help of the event World Affairs Council of Greater Houston

Thank you, Olexy Ohurtsov, for the photos!

See how Houston celebrated Ukraine Independence Day with colorful art Aug. 24 is a main state holiday in modern Ukraine, commemorating the country's 1991 break from the Soviet Union. On Wednesday evening, a group of Houston-area organizations held a 'Be Brave Art Exhibition,' featuring contemporary art created by young Ukrainian artists since the war began.

Thank you for inviting our BE BRAVE Art Show to the celebration of the Independence Day of Ukraine!
Thank you for supporting Ukrainian art!

Thanks to all the supporters!
Thank you for your donations!
Thank you for purchasing Ukrainian art!
Thank you for supporting Ukrainian culture financially!
Thank you for helping us to fulfill our primary purpose!
Which is to talk to Americans using visual language about what this means and how it feels to be brave during the war.
"Being brave is our brand; we will spread our courage to the world.
This is what it means to be us. To be Ukrainians." - from the address of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.
The theme, BE BRAVE, was created as a message of hope
to the Ukrainian resistance, which remains stoically brave in Russia's murderous attacks;
to all of us who are in grief and experiencing shame witnessing this devastating war in the 21st century;
to all of us watching as truth and freedom are under attack by Russia;
to those who cannot look away;
to those who cannot give up, who feel we must act;
and then "life will conquer death, and light will conquer darkness. "(Zelensky's words on the cover of TIME magazine.)

"In Ukraine, I got a professional education. In addition, I had the experience of working in the main Christian church of Ukraine, "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra," as a master of icon painting, which allowed me to get acquainted with all the subtleties of Byzantine art. This fact in my biography greatly influenced my creative method of creating my works, namely bringing elements of composition and the technique of creating Byzantine painting.

I work with acrylic on canvas or board primarily. Therefore, in my collection, there are still-lifes and landscapes, as well as portraits of people, mythological subjects, and icons.
Recently, I have been drawing inspiration from the folk art of Ukraine. Living far from my homeland, I was fascinated by studying Ukrainian folk art, traditions, and way of life. That is why, in my last paintings, I use Ukrainian ornaments as a background. In most pieces, the main plot of my work is devoted to Ukrainian women. I try to reflect my admiration for Ukrainian girls' beauty, intelligence, and willpower."

The Grand Opening is on August 6, at 7 PM.

Yes, guys, with such a line-up of artists, we envy ourselves!💙💛
Don't miss the opportunity to see these incredible artists in Texas!

for cover used a fragment of great artwork "Everything will be Ukraine" by Lytko Tanya https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001690315189 presented by Uart.gallery

With great pride and honor, we present a list
of brilliant young talented Ukrainian artists 🇺🇦,
whose incredibly deep works of the war period
will allow us to illustrate
all the diversity of Ukrainian bravery and heroism 💙💛

The theme of the exhibition, "BE BRAVE," was chosen as a message of support and hope for the Ukrainian heroic resistance, which remains stoically brave in the face of russia's bloodthirsty attacks and as supporting the global information support company of Ukraine "Be Brave like Ukraine" 💙💛 https://brave.ua/en.html

"Being brave is our brand; we will spread our courage to the world.
This is what it means to be us. To be Ukrainians."
- from the address of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky

💛 BRAVERY is in the DNA of every human being, who for centuries had to fight back his land and identity from tyranny and occupation,
💛 BRAVERY in how the Ukrainian military fights against the superior numbers and equipment of all russian forces
on land, in the air, and at sea
💛 BRAVERY in how unarmed Ukrainian people stop armored vehicles and do not surrender even in occupied cities
💛 BRAVERY in how diplomats relentlessly speak the truth about atrocities and call the world to action
💛BRAVERY in how volunteers risk their lives to carry humanitarian aid and save people and animals
💛BRAVERY in mothers who, fleeing the horrors of war, ended up with children in foreign countries
💛BRAVERY in those who decided not to leave their home but to defend it
💛BRAVERY in those who, despite everything, continue to work supporting the economy and infrastructure
💛BRAVERY in those who donate money in such a difficult time
💛BRAVERY in those who sanctify events and attract international attention
💛BRAVERY in international support of the entire civilized world and each individual
💛Because BRAVERY and honor and justice do not depend on nationality and place of birth
It is in all of us, those who are not silent, who act, showing courage, each on his own front.

To represent this idea, we want to involve contemporary Ukrainian and local artists, those who are at the epicenter of terrible events, and those who are physically very far away but mentally acutely feel and cannot remain aloof from what is happening, all who bravely fight on their artistic front to give hope that millions of Ukrainians now need so much!💙💛

Be BRAVE with us!
and then "life will conquer death, and light will conquer darkness."
(Zelensky's words on the cover of Time magazine.) 🇺🇦 💙💛
