Faces of Nations

Two Ukrainian artists have been busy creating controversial art pieces consisting of the things that best describe the images. The latest portrait of Ukraine President Poroshenko was made from candy wrappers representing the empty promises he had made,plus he owns a candy company,and bullet casings. Earlier works included one of Trump titled the Face of Money (should have been face of greed) and was made of one and five cent coins and poker chips to show how money driven he is. They were exiled from their country for their portrait of Putin called Face of War which was made from bullet shells used in the conflict in Ukraine. It has since been exhibited in New York City as part of a show called "The Five Elements of War".
