Superheroes Among Us
Since the beginning of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Sashko has been working on illustration and media projects to promote Ukrainian culture and stories about bravery and humanity of Ukrainian people. His works are part of international exhibitions and events, they help to raise funds for humanitarian aid for Ukraine.
“The Superheroes Among Us is a series of illustrations depicting today’s heroes, ordinary Ukrainians who have shown extraordinary abilities of courage, humanity, bravery and love. I’ve always liked superhero stories, epics and comics, but now there is no need to invent something, because legends are being born in front of our eyes, one just has to have time to draw. Ukraine is invincible as long as there are such superheroes!”—says Sashko about the project.
