The article analyses the role of art during the Russian-Ukrainian war (2022–2025) as a tool for survival, therapy and testimony. In extreme situations, such as war, artistic creation becomes a way of processing trauma and regaining a sense of meaning. Referring to François Jullien's concept of dé-coïncidence and the reflections of Władysław Tatarkiewicz and Irena Wojnar, the authors show how art allows individuals to break away from the overwhelming reality and open space for action and reflection. The case studies of three Ukrainian artists are presented: Yulia Ivashko, Oleksandr Ivashko and Serhii Belinsky. They present various creative strategies: from escapist images of idealised nature, through expressive abstractions, to symbolic photographs depicting war without people. The authors also reflect on the tension between the therapeutic and artistic value of war art, pointing out that this boundary is often blurred and that authenticity and emotional power become its greatest value.
