Vladyslav Riaboshtan

Vladislav was born in 1996 in Ukraine, in Dnipro. He now lives in Kyiv, working in visual art. "In my childhood, I was surrounded by factories, railway, unfinished subway and many other industrial objects. Even after I grew up and moved to a different city, I wanted to find locations to which I got used, their atmosphere". Before the war started, his actual project was a large series of Kyiv subways. At the moment this series is transformed into the theme of a subway as a shelter place, a safe zone from rockets and explosions. The war has changed the perception of many things for Ukrainians. I’d like to show how this experience changed what and why I depict.
