23 Breathtaking Illustrations Inspired By The Horrors Of War Have Been Shared By A Ukrainian Artist

by Maryjane

We have just one single home, and that is our planet. We ought to guard it and not destroy it. War is the most awful mistake.

The best answer to war is never to start it in the first place. War is horrible and affects the well-being and prosperity of countries.

The effects of war can cause more mortality and incapacity than any major sickness you can think of. War destroys nations and families and often scatters the advancement of the social and financial texture of countries.

The impacts of war include long-term physical and mental damage to both young and grown-ups. Most of all, war can cause death, and this is what Ukraine suffers from most.

A Ukrainian artist and illustrator named Olga Wilson wants to spread the message to all generations that war is the biggest mistake of humanity. He does this by sharing his "war notes," which he depicts through drawings.

His drawings are a "tribute to the victims of the war" and he wants to "save the memory of them and the horrors Ukrainian people have to endure". He shares his art on his Instagram account, which has over 30K followers, and also on his Twitter account.

According to the artist, "We all are connected. Our energies and souls are connected, so use your energy to create good, not evil." Below are some of his best works, which show that we should reject war and embrace peace.
