The Military CatMan

My name is Elizaveta Borsuk-Hall, I’m a Ukrainian visual artist, born in 1998 in Dnipro. My artistic journey began in the world of calm and classical art, and eventually became a way to process and express the reality of war and what it left behind.

I graduated from the Dnipro Theatre and Art College and continued my education at the Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts, specializing in Fine Arts. My academic years were filled with exploration, portrait compositions, and a love for detail — all of which became the foundation for what I create today.

Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, my work took a new shape. I started documenting the emotional reality of war — not through words, but through black-and-white expressive paintings. My works are not just about destruction, they are about strength, memory, pain, and dignity. They have been exhibited at events dedicated to the memory of war victims, and each canvas carries a voice — sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, but always truthful.

These days, my art speaks about war because I can’t look away. Art has become my way of processing the pain, honoring the fallen, and standing with those who are still fighting.

At the same time, I remain open to personal projects and commissioned work. If my style resonates with you, I’d be happy to bring your vision to life.
