Nemirovsky's life took a turn when the war in eastern Ukraine escalated. He was teaching at the Mariupol branch of the National Academy of Visual Arts and Architecture when the fighting broke out. He recalls the horrors he experienced during that time, saying, "At first, we ate frozen food from warehouses, but by the end of March, the food and water had run out, and we couldn't wait any longer." Daniil Nemirovsky was able to leave besieged Mariupol at the end of March 2022. He spent a month in a basement where he painted several portraits of his shelter neighbors.
