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.

Original Oil Painting by Olena Chorna
Sunflowers have always reminded me of the warmth and abundance of summer in Ukraine. Growing up, vast fields of sunflowers would follow the sun across the sky, creating a sea of golden light. In this oil painting, I wanted to capture that feeling of brightness, strength, and joy that sunflowers naturally bring.
