Once upon a time…well, two and a
half centuries ago, to be more precise, in a little village in Ukraine called
Petrykivka, was born a type of painting. The vibrant Petrykivka paintings which
take their name from their birthplace, were created by home dwellers who used
paint brushes made of cat-fur to paint their walls. The brightest colors of
nature were brought into homes, with the hope that they bring with them gaiety
and high spirits. Homeowners competed, the art was bequeathed from one generation to
the next, and the art form flourished.

Today Petrykivka paintings adorn
walls and museums across the world. They are painted on all kinds of surfaces - musical instruments, plates and vessels and pretty much any surface one can imagine.
Bright, happy notes to set one’s spirits soaring…
