Clars Auction Gallery is proud to be offering a limited edition of 50 NFTs of “Girl with Candy”, by world renowned Ukrainian photographer Oleksii Kyryrenchko.  Oleksii, who’s been a photography hobbyist since school, wanted to capture and show the world what a war torn Ukraine would look like for its people and its children. This photo of his 9 year old daughter was first shared earlier this year and became viral in March 2022, with the auction of the print raising $8000 USD for Ukrainian Relief. The proceeds of this collection will go towards supporting Ukraine with the non-profit Come Back Alive, and Oleksii's family.  

Since 1972, Clars Auction Gallery has hosted auctions of Fine Art, Decorative Objects, and Jewelry for over fifty years and has built a strong reputation for knowledge and experience in handling quality fine art, antiques, jewelry and decorative objects.

Edition of fifty (50)

Artist Note:
My name is Oleksii. I am an amateur photographer from Ukraine. On the eve of the war, I decided to take some photos that could draw the world's attention to Ukraine. The photo, which flew around the world and became a meme, I took 2 days before the war. This is a photo of my daughter with candy and a gun in an abandoned building. The girl represents Ukraine - a young state that will defend itself to the last. This photo should show that all people of Ukraine, of all ages and genders, will rise up against the invaders.
