About Petrykivka Art

Petrykivka decorative painting is a traditional Ukrainian folk art recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. Characterized by fantastical flowers, vibrant colors, and intricate ornamental patterns, this centuries-old art form represents the soul of Ukrainian culture. The technique features richly colored flowers and berries of fantastic forms, executed with quick, confident brushstrokes in red, green, blue, and yellow against white or natural backgrounds.

Matish honors this ancient heritage while bringing contemporary vision to traditional techniques, creating works that bridge the past and present of Ukrainian artistic expression. Each Petrykivka piece celebrates the enduring spirit and cultural identity of Ukraine through its distinctive decorative language.
