<div>Forty oil portraits.
</div>
<div>Each 100 × 80 cm.
</div>
<div>Each one painted to return a face to someone history erased.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doch, immer noch! (“Still. Even now.”) : 40 Portaits against the Silence - is a memorial painting project dedicated to autistic people murdered under the Nazi Aktion T4 programme — individuals who were systematically removed from public view and never properly remembered.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This project does not use abstraction or symbolism.
</div>
<div>It works face to face.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each painting is based on fragile archival photographs and institutional records of real victims — traces that survived, even when the people did not.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What This Project Is
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am creating 40 large-format oil portraits (100 × 80 cm), each treated as a standalone act of remembrance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These paintings are slow, careful works.
</div>
<div>They are not illustrations of history, but acts of presence — giving time, attention, and dignity back to people who were reduced to files, diagnoses, and silence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, the 40 portraits form a visual memorial that insists:
</div>
<div>they were here, and they mattered.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why This Matters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Disabled people were among the first to be excluded, institutionalised, and murdered under Nazism. Their stories are still underrepresented in public remembrance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even today, autistic people are often spoken about, rather than listened to — misunderstood, marginalised, and overlooked.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This project doesn’t make arguments or comparisons.
</div>
<div>It does something simpler and harder: it asks viewers to look at our shared humanity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Who I Am
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Bogdan. I am an autistic artist based in Berlin.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My practice focuses on presence, light, and remembrance — on making absence visible again through careful, disciplined work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This memorial is personal, but it is not private. It is meant to be seen, shared, and carried forward.
</div>
<div><br />

<div>What Your Support Funds
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Each contribution goes directly into making the portraits possible:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>40 stretched canvases (100 × 80 cm)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Professional and archival oil paints, grounds, and varnishes
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Studio costs and documentation
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Preparation for exhibition and future public presentation
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Basic living costs while the series is completed
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any funding beyond the minimum allows the work to be properly finished, documented, and prepared for institutional display.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Contribution Levels
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>€10–€25 — Materials for a working session
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>€50–€100 — Paint and ground for a section of a portrait
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>€250 — A significant material share of one painting
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>€500–€1,000 — Canvas and core materials for one portrait
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>€5,000+ — Major support enabling multiple works and exhibition readiness
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every amount helps. This project is built cumulatively.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Closing
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This campaign is not about charity.
</div>
<div>It is about remembrance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you contribute, you help bring one face back into view.
</div>
<div>If you can’t, sharing this page still matters — it places these lives back into public attention.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doch, immer noch.
</div>
<div>Still. Even now. 
</div>
<div><br />
