Unique Images in Costumes and Paintings
The exhibition features 14 representations of Slavic gods and mythical characters, presented as handmade costumes and original paintings. They were created by Irina iSky, an artist and servicemember of the 59th Separate Assault Brigade named after Yakov Hanzyuk. The artist interpreted the mythological figures through her own creative and life experiences.
An Exhibition that Bridges the Past and Present
According to the author’s concept, each mythological character is associated with a real contemporary figure — military personnel, artists, and cultural figures. The characters in the exhibition draw strength from their prototypes, yet remain faceless. This emphasizes that the values they embody are common to all and do not depend on any specific individual.
“The charitable exhibition combines contemporary art and Slavic mythology in its author’s interpretation. 14 representations of Slavic gods and mythical characters are recreated in handmade costumes and paintings by Irina iSky – an artist and servicemember of the 59th Separate Assault Brigade named after Yakov Hanzyuk.”
The exhibition can be viewed in the Red Hall on the second floor of the station. It will be open daily from September 15 to 22, from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Admission is free for all interested visitors.
