'My thoughts and opinions are in no way aligned with those of the artist involved,” says the photographer.
, he says the mural uses “the composition and elements of this Australian girl…And so what?”
“I have been made aware that this photo of mine, taken in 2018, has been used to create a mural in Mariupol, Ukraine,” Whittle says in a statement. “I was not contacted by the artist and do not give permission for this image to be used. My thoughts and opinions are in no way aligned with those of the artist involved.”Whittle adds “it was distressing and painful” for her photo to be copied and used in this way.
“It seems that he [Jorit] finds inspiration by copying images found on the internet. I am sad and angry that an artist feels the need to copy someone else’s work without asking permission. And I am very saddened by the way my image, my daughter’s portrait, has been used.”Jorit is accused of spreading Russian propaganda. Insinuating that Nato bombs were responsible for the devastation of Mauripol is reprehensible and plain wrong.
Joril has previously made a mural of Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky in Naples, Italy just a few weeks after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.further reports that before the full-scale Russian invasion, there was a mural dedicated to a girl from Mauripol called Milana Abdurashytova who lost a leg and her mother in a missile strike launched by pro-Russian Separatist forces in 2015. After the occupation, Russian forces covered the mural.
