A new artistic mural has been unveiled in the Bulgarian city of Varna, dedicated to the Day of Bravery and the Bulgarian Army.
This project is the result of a collaborative effort by the organization "We Are Together", construction company KUB, and the Ukrainian restaurant "Stefania".

New Mural by Ukrainian Artists in Varna
The process of creating the mural turned into a vibrant family event where everyone could participate by painting a section of the image. The artists conducted a workshop for all interested participants. Restaurant "Stefania" provided free refreshments to attendees.
The main work lasted nearly two weeks, consuming over 160 liters of paint. Local residents expressed gratitude to the organizers for beautifying the underpass. The artists stated that the mural not only has aesthetic value but also symbolizes the gratitude of the Ukrainian community for the shelter provided during the war and illustrates mutual respect between the two cultures.
"I work in a site-specific style, which implies embedding the art object into its environment. In this case, the environment is urban, next to an ethnic cuisine restaurant. Therefore, the mural combines floral and marine motifs common to both Ukrainian and Bulgarian cultures, along with geometric shapes that symbolize the city and coexistence," said one of the mural's authors, Odesa artist Georgiy Khazankin.
The funding for the artistic work and obtaining the necessary permits from the Varna municipality were handled by KUB Corporation, an international association of construction companies with Ukrainian roots, which is implementing several major premium residential projects in the city.
What is KUB?
KUB is a corporation of developers specializing in implementing complex infrastructure projects and providing business and real estate management services. Among other things, KUB engages in crisis management for projects where developers failed to meet their obligations to investors and has already secured housing for thousands of Ukrainian families.
In 2023, the corporation entered the Bulgarian market, opening a branch in Varna. Currently, two large-scale projects are underway: a multifunctional complex with developed infrastructure in the Forest Club and a residential complex with a pool and parking just 150 meters from the sea, Aqua View Apartments.
To support Ukrainians who were forced to leave their homes due to military actions and move to Bulgaria, KUB provides assistance to the Bulgarian NGO "We Are Together". This organization helps displaced persons adapt in the country, offers legal support, and facilitates job placements.
