Bohdan is an artist, photographer, and poet. The war in his life began even before February 24, with poems about Ukraine. As if he had a premonition, he wrote two texts that later became a personal benchmark for him. On the second day of russia’s full-scale invasion, tanks rolled past his house. But he did not evacuate – he could not leave his paints, canvases, everything he lived for. For a long time, Bohdan couldn’t pick up a paintbrush. Until a missile hit nearby – that’s how his first painting, “Flash”, appeared, unlocking his creative energy. From that moment on, art became his way of life again – with an awareness of the value of time and its transience.
