The "Courageous Heart" Symbol in Support of Ukraine: CourageousHeart.Art
When Russia attacked Ukraine on February 24, 2022, not only did it unjustly invade a sovereign country, but it also violated principles of the civilized world, built upon mutual trust, stability and cooperation.
Many thought it would be a matter of weeks until Ukraine was eventually overpowered by a bigger invading power. But the world was quickly galvanized by the immense courage and the fighting spirit of the Ukrainian people in the fight for their land and national identity. They were not going anywhere, but forward and into the battlefield. Moved and inspired by the Ukrainians’ fierce and patriotic love for their country, I created a symbol, that to me conceptually captured what I was witnessing in the news reports. The art is in the form of Hard Enamel Pins and Screen Prints. To help support the country in these dire times, 50% of the proceeds will go to trustworthy charities that are working to help Ukraine and its people to survive, and eventually thrive.

This design, strives to appeal to the core of our humanity and inspire everyone to spread love. The image takes the familiar shape of the virus, while eliminating the fear by reconstructing it out of multitude of hearts. In essence, visualizing the concept of viral love and kindness. -Timur April 19, 2020 |

Mass School Shootings
'Never Again' Poster in support of victims of mass school shootings, in the USA
There have been a rise in the number of mass school shootings, involving military grade weapons in the United States in recent years. This art was motivated by such events, as well as the movement that was born out of Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida. That tragedy claimed the lives of 17 people. The brave survivors grouped together and started the #NeverAgain movement that has swept the nation and inspired millions to join in support of sensible gun laws.
This poster meant to further the message of improving our national gun laws and minimize senseless acts of shooting violence involving semi-automatic weapons by civilians, in particular. -Timur March 23, 2018 |

"Triumph of Life" is the representation of the beauty of the organic world in its purest form. It is the depiction of Nature's own nature – raw, wild, unpredictable, full of surprises, and above all possessing dynamism that will never cease to exist. It is Life itself that always finds its way to the surface despite endless trials and hardships.

Following Japan's devastating Earthquake and Tsunami on March 11, 2011, I, along with multitudes of people across the world felt a powerful urge to somehow help the tragedy-stricken nation. Being an artist with a keen sense of social awareness had resulted in the development of this poster. Created on a third day of the tragedy, the work captures the sense of our collective heart-felt emotions and efforts on behalf of Japan and its Peoples. It is both a Japanese flag and a universal symbol of Love and Care that unites us as humans from all walks of life, across the World and cultures.
