MINI BIO

My artistic practice is dedicated to preserving and promoting Ukrainian folk art, with a focus on Petrykivka painting. Rooted in nature and symbolism, this vibrant and expressive art form embodies cultural identity, storytelling, and a deep connection to heritage. My mission is to bridge tradition and innovation, fostering a sense of community through shared artistic experiences. Through my work, I honor ancestral techniques while infusing them with contemporary relevance, ensuring their continuity for future generations. As an artist, I strive to make art that is accessible, engaging, and inspires cultural appreciation. My work depicts floral dominant patterns, and images of animals, people, and landscapes, utilizing bright colours that evoke a joyful, positive energy. I believe in our current global context, we need art that reminds us of the beauty in this world. I am committed to keeping this rich artistic heritage alive while expanding on its traditions with every brushstroke.
