Client’s Task

To create an art object that:

• visually and symbolically conveys the spirit of Kyiv;
• serves as a cultural accent of the capital in an international context;
• introduces foreign audiences to Ukraine’s heritage.

Our Solution

• Concept and composition.At the center of the composition stands the Coat of Arms of Kyiv, surrounded by four iconic landmarks of the city, united into a single sculptural form. Each image is seamlessly integrated into the overall structure, with silhouettes visible from different angles, creating a rich play of light and shadow.
• Materials and finishing. The main material is stainless steel, coated with automotive paint and protected by a special varnish, ensuring durability against weather conditions and long-term use.
• Implementation time. 3 months — from design to final installation.

Result

• The installation became an artistic image of Kyiv, where history and contemporary art merged into a unified composition.
• The object symbolizes Kyiv beyond Ukraine and strengthens its identity in the international cultural space.
