"The cat of Mira's neighbors was finally rescued"
Yuliya Tveritina – Academician of the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, master of linear painting, graphic artist, and illustrator. Julia is from Kyiv. For many years she has been living and working in Suzhou (China). From the first days of the war the artist began to keep an art diary of the war.
Somewhere at the beginning of the war (only a week ago) I had telephone discussion with Miroslava, the seven-year-old my close friend’s daughter, from Irpin. Then I started drawing this graphic story about her but couldn't finish it.
Every day, reading the posts of my friends and relatives stuck in the destroyed cities in basements and bomb shelters, short trembling messages from my mom in Kyiv, I wanted to add darker details to the story, but finally I didn’t. I’m mentally tired. I’m just believe they all will survive.
And there is small good news - the cat of Mira's neighbors was finally rescued. 11 days later, a hole was punched in the wall of the common corridor and poor creature got out.
