Spring has been a bit of a disappointment for us this year. But at the end, after weeks of prolonged rain, we’re entering the season of gorgeous blossoms. This is when everything in the city blooms, blossoms, and is awash with brightness and fragrance within a week. Petals from blossoming trees fall onto the road, and we all feel like spring, meaning the sun is present in our region longer and more often. This is a joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little earlier, waiting for this time, I created a collection, which I am putting up for sale today and recommend to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.saatchiart.com\/art\/Painting-Flowers1\/970132\/13792153\/view<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the entire collection consists of different variations of flower bouquets, I added my love for spring flowers and the light of spring’s radiance to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This celebration of blossoming and beauty has been gathered in my imagination and symbolizes a family tree\u2014a flourishing, diverse, deep, and strong family tree of life.
It was this idea that ignited me at the beginning of spring and gave me the realization that we are the continuation of our lineage, rooted deep in the earth and reaching upward, acquiring a branching crown of life through love and faith.
All that holds us together is our faith and our roots.
That’s why this work is especially dear to me. It is made in the Petrykivka style, a traditional Ukrainian folk art style in which I have been creating for over 15 years.
Incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a long time, and yet I, like a little person, feel like an apprentice in this art form.Like just started)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n


All these works are for sale and you can buy them. I have specially reduced the prices so that you receive them with a certificate of authenticity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or do you just collect art work with your eyes?
Have a wonderful spring mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
