Danish Volunteer Launches Art Gallery to Support Ukrainian Artists and Frontline Medics

A Danish volunteer who spent two years in Ukraine has launched an online art gallery connecting Ukrainian painters with international buyers, while donating part of every sale to Ukrainian frontline medics.

Founded by Copenhagen-based Caspar Ejsing, Art From Ukraine aims to showcase a side of the country often overshadowed by Russia’s full-scale invasion—one where artists continue creating and sharing their work despite the war.

The gallery features works by emerging and established Ukrainian painters, with collections ranging from traditional landscapes and still lifes to abstract compositions and urban scenes. Its website lists paintings by artists including Tetiana Senchenko, Mariia Drozdova, and Ihor Melnyk, with prices ranging from under €100 to several hundred euros.

Beyond promoting Ukrainian culture, the project also supports the Hospitallers, a Ukrainian volunteer medical organization whose teams provide emergency treatment and evacuate wounded people from dangerous areas.

According to an announcement published by Art From Ukraine in June 2026, 70% of each sale goes directly to the artist, 25% covers operating expenses, and the remaining 5% supports the Hospitallers. The gallery also arranges international shipping and handles export documentation.

Among the artists represented is Kharkiv-born painter Tetiana Senchenko, also known professionally as Tanya Sun. A graduate of the Kharkiv Art Academy, she draws inspiration from Ukrainian sunflower fields, the Black Sea, and landscapes from countries she has visited.

After moving to Brighton and Hove in England, Senchenko continued painting, incorporating the British coastline into her work while maintaining the impressionist style that shaped her artistic career.

“Art is the greatest obsession of my life, and I will never give up on this creative and wonderful field,” she said in an interview published by the gallery.

The initiative has also been featured by Spend With Ukraine, a platform promoting Ukrainian businesses and creative products to international audiences.

The Hospitallers, which the gallery supports, have operated since 2014, providing battlefield medical assistance and evacuating wounded people. The volunteer organization relies on donations to sustain its lifesaving operations.

Earlier in October, Ukrainian artist Valentyna Veremko presented an art installation at the Frankfurt Book Fair featuring 22 books damaged in a Russian strike on a publishing warehouse in Kharkiv. The installation, titled Born/Burn Alive, highlighted the destruction of Ukrainian cultural heritage and its resilience despite centuries of repression.
