"Kids who launch boats" or "Kids, the Founders of Kyiv" - a plaster model of the monument to Volodymyr Zhuravl located on Poshtova Square

The composition is based on three figures of boys who are prototypes of the legendary brothers who founded Kyiv – Kyi, Shchek and Khoriv. In the completed sculpture, the children are playing with boats on a stylised map of Kyiv, and a few metres away there is a bronze bench with a little girl sitting on it, the prototype of Lybid’s sister.

According to the author, there are three levels of perception of this composition:

  • direct – children just playing, launching boats;
  • historical – the children who founded Kyiv, the prototype of the
  • legendary brothers: Kiya, Shchek, Khoriv and their sister Lybid;
  • sacred – the image of space children.

If you buy a sculpture, the author will cast it in bronze within one and a half to two months. Every second hryvnia raised goes to help the children under the care of the Ohmadyt National Children’s Hospital.
