What is Petrykivka painting?

Originating from the village of Petrykivka in Ukraine, this traditional decorative painting style has been recognized on a UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Its vibrant colours and intricate patterns create stunning works of art.

This art is rich in symbolism: the rooster stands for fire and spiritual awakening, while birds represent light, harmony and happiness. In Ukrainian folk belief, the paintings protect people from sorrow and evil.
