Decorative wall plate, souvenir round Petrikovskaya painting with a pattern of the Coat of Arms of Ukraine in flowers, diameter 30cm - author's handmade work, signed by the artist.

Petrikovsky ornament is the artistic calling card of Ukraine.

Since ancient times, Ukrainians have decorated their homes, clothing, handicrafts and everyday items with colorful patterns. They were believed to attract good luck, protect against misfortunes, natural disasters and evil forces, and improve health. Every detail of such images carried a hidden, symbolic meaning. For example, grapes were a wish for fertility, oak symbolized masculine energy, courage and bravery, poppy represented family memory and the strength of the clan, periwinkle - youth, development, growth.

Symbols and amulets

The main and most depicted element of Petrykivka painting is the Tree of Life, “pot”.

A bouquet of flowers, a flowerpot, a bush - all this symbolizes the Tree of Life. The tree of life with birds is a symbol of the universe. The elements of grape leaves and grapes on the “pot” make up a “wonderful tree”, which symbolizes the well-being of the family.

Author's hand painting

Petrikov painting is very diverse. Almost every master has his own special style, style of writing, approach to stylization and depiction of traditional elements. Thanks to the fact that the craftsmen carefully select the tones and shades of the smallest flower and detail, each work is unique and inimitable. Even if you ask the author to repeat his work, it will be very similar to the original, but will never be a 100% copy. It is for its uniqueness that handmade work is valued.
