My City
A figure warming their hands by the fire emerges as a gesture of survival amid constant threat. The city silhouette, outlined in white, evokes a space that is simultaneously home and source of danger—a city living under the sounds of air raid sirens and shelling. The work captures a state of internal escape: the need to distance oneself from urban tension, the noise of war, and relentless anxiety. Here, fire becomes a temporary refuge, and silence—a form of resistance and self-preservation.
Artur Soletskyi is a Ukrainian artist, was born in 1996 in Vinnytsia, currently lives and works in Lviv. In his practice, he combines installation, video art, sculpture, and painting, working primarily with canvas and acrylic. The main themes of his art are the interaction between humans and space, the influence of the artistic environment on the viewer, as well as the exploration of mass psychology. The artist’s style is distinguished by minimalism, active interaction with the surroundings, the symbolism of the human body, and its deformation as a means of conveying emotional states.
