STORYLINE:
Mourners gathered in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, on Monday, to bid farewell to artist and soldier, Davyd Chychkan.
Chychkan, 39, died on the frontline on August 10th, a day after he was wounded while repelling an assault by Russian infantry in the Zaporizhzhia area.
Mourners held up paintings in his memory at a farewell ceremony in Independence Square.
Born in 1986 to artists Illia Chychkan and Tetiana Illiakhova, Chychkan came from a family of Ukrainian painters.
His grandfather was a nonconformist artist who took part in the legendary “Exhibition of Thirteen,” and his great-grandfather, Leonid Chychkan, was a professor at the Kyiv Art Institute known for celebrating the romantic beauty of the Carpathians.
