Street Artist C215
Stencil artist C215 went to Ukraine. This is his story.
C215: This morning I’m going back to Ukraine, to paint there for the Ukrainians, to show our solidarity there and also to find those I had met. Among other things, I will do this portrait of my son Gabin, in Ukrainian attire. When I return, I will think about my future. I am getting old, and tired. Thank you for your support 💛💙
C215: Back in Ukraine, this time to paint street art in support of Ukrainians, and art that show our solidarity, rather than images that show the horror of the bombardments of civilian areas, as I did a month.
First of these works, with the complicity of the municipality of the city of LVIV, I realized this fresco representing a little girl with a crown of flowers, symbol of Ukrainian folklore. This wall is the twin of the one I painted at the start of the conflict in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. Of the same subject and of equal size to the first Parisian wall, this wall symbolizes beyond the distance the friendship that binds us to the Ukrainians, and the unconditional support that we bring to their refugee families, who I hope will soon be able to return to Ukraine. Find their homes.
Jérôme Coumet, mayor of the 13th arrondissement of Paris, and I will soon come back together to inaugurate this wall with the mayor of Lviv and announce beautiful Franco-Ukrainian artistic cooperation.
C215: Thus continues this second stay in Ukraine, here in Lviv, with this message of love and hope addressed to all lovers separated by war, inspired by a French song from another era, another war: “I will wait, I will wait day and night, I will always wait for your return…”
C215: https://www.instagram.com/p/CdgmHb5IAMJ/In a refugee camp in Lviv, the power of life, youth, innocence…
C215: In Lviv, Ukraine.
C215: Very happy to have been able to produce a “Liberty Leading the People” in the colors of Ukraine on the terrace of the French Embassy in Kyiv, to symbolically mark the return of France by its diplomatic corps to the capital.
C215: In the city center of Kyiv, Ukraine, this building partially destroyed by a Russian missile.
C215: In Kyiv city center, civilian areas destroyed by Russian bombs.
C215: A major figure in Ukrainian cultural identity, Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861) was a humanist poet, painter and ethnographer. He is considered the greatest romantic poet in the Ukrainian language, the equivalent of our [France] Victor Hugo. For the Ukrainians, in Kyiv, with tenderness
C215: Gostomel/Bucha, Kyiv oblast, Ukraine.
C215: In Gostomel/Bucha, Kyiv oblast, Ukraine.
C215: My way to wish an happy Vyshyvanka Day to all Ukrainian people by painting my son Gabin wearing that traditional shirt in front of a building destroyed by a Russian rocket in Kyiv.
C215: The time will come when life take over… In Kyiv, Ukraine.
C215: Near Kyiv, on the carcass of this Russian tank, when art tries to defy the absurdity of war.
C215: Souvenir from Lviv refugee camp in Ukraine. Returning to Paris was very difficult. I will have to digest what I saw in Voutcha, the extinguished faces, the bullet holes everywhere, the casings on the ground, the cemeteries with multiple newly dug graves, the destroyed buildings, the desolation.
Happiness to find my family and my children, even if the reconnection is not easy.
I would like to tell you that despite (or because of) my many publications of murals made over the past two months in Ukraine, an impressive number of Russian artists have since subscribed to my Instagram account, and validate my publications. There is hope.

Sasha Korban: ‘’სიყვარულით” which translates to “with love” in Georgian. In Georgia, this mural is referred to as “ბებოს” meaning “grandma”. However, this mural represents the very essence of love. The love that saturates our everyday lives, manifesting through the small acts of kindness from our loved ones or even their mere presence. Unfortunately, we often take this love for granted, assuming it to be the natural order of things, and we sometimes overlook the beauty of life’s simpler moments.

Break the Circle
Sasha Korban: The best safeguard against domestic violence is the confidence of women in their unconditional value and dignity. And now in Mykolaiv, Ukraine you can see my new mural “Embrace yourself”, that reminds: every woman deserves happiness.The image of a girl gently hugging her shoulders refers to a psychological method used in therapy for women who have experienced domestic violence. This simple action helps you to feel safe and regain contact with your body.
The mural has created with support of UNFPA Ukraine as a part of an information campaign “Break the Circle” in collaboration with Sky Art Foundation. Its creation is timed to the worldwide campaign “16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence”. Embrace yourself and your loved ones. And remember, that you deserve to be respected and to be happy simply because you exist.

Finding a good balance in life
Sasha Korban: This mural supports the idea of finding a good balance in life. The young fragile girl reflects the human’s internal harmony together with the joy of existence. A bunch of chairs is a metaphor for the world’s chaos and the diversity of different moments we all go through – positive, tragic, happy and sad. They make us balance and find the harmony. The project is organized by International Human Rights Organization Truth Hounds

True Hope
Sasha Korban: It is the fourth year of war in my country. There are thousands of broken hearts and lost beloved ones, ruined families, injured bodies and souls. Milana is a six-year-old girl who faced the war three years ago. But she was stronger than any war. Her little and yet brave heart conquered everything. I have dedicated my piece to Milana as I do believe she is a real symbol of the true hope.

Sasha Korban: The curator of the festival Besik M while he was inviting me, said, “We have a special wall for you, opposite the Russian embassy’s building.” (correctly speaking, it was the Russian Federation Interests Section at the Embassy of Switzerland in Tbilisi).
Yes, yes, and I made a mural there. I portrayed a Ukrainian woman in a traditional embroidered shirt holding a huge bouquet of wildflowers with ears of wheat. She is proud and full of light. She looks straight ahead, with a barely noticeable smile, to all the obstacles and fears in the eyes.
It symbolizes our strength, inner energy, freedom and will. Despite the terrible and cruel war, we, as a nation, will endure, become even stronger, and we will live! There were several situations when people from the opposite building tried to stop me from working on the mural just because the Ukrainian was drawing there
