Street artists around the world are spraying in solidarity with
Ukraine.
Many artists have painted poignant pieces highlighting Ukrainians’
struggles amid the Russian invasion, while others call out Russian
President Vladimir Putin over the globally condemned attack.
“It was the least I could do apart from sending financial
support,” the artist known as WOSKerski, who painted the tribute
below in London, told HuffPost.
“As an artist, I have a voice that can influence people and a moral
obligation to act against injustice and support people who need it,”
WOSKerski said. “I am aware that the online support is probably
meaningless, but I hope that perhaps it did help someone.”
Jenks, a street artist in Llanelli, Wales, who acknowledged that
Ukrainians likely “never have heard of” his hometown, said he
painted his “Pray for Ukraine” piece below “in the hope that if
they saw the image painted thousands of miles away, they would not
feel isolated and know people are on their side during this terrible
time for them.”
Artist Seth Globepainter said his artwork was inspired by the
“incredible resilience” of the children he met while previously
painting in Donbas, Ukraine.
He painted the below mural of a girl in Paris, dedicated to a friend
Oleg who remains in Kyiv. It “symbolized the courage of the
Ukrainians faced with the Russian invasion,” Globepainter, whose is
real name is Julien Malland, told HuffPost. “I do not usually
express my views on current events, but I know how important it is for
the people living through this dramatic situation to know that we are
thinking of them.”

collaborated with tattoo artist Juliano Trindade on this piece in Los
Angeles depicting doves carrying Putin’s head:
“What’s happening in Ukraine isn’t a Ukrainian problem. It’s a
humanity problem,” Mattie told HuffPost. “This is a time where we
need to come together and stand up for evil, to fight for what’s
right.”
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles-based artist known as Plastic Jesus
produced 5,000 “Fuck Putin” stickers that are being distributed to
fans worldwide:
