Back to the beginning.
When I looking for ideas, it is useful to look into history.
Today I want to tell you about one of the brightest, most interesting and incredibly powerful styles in painting - Petrykivka painting.
The people of the village of Petrykivka (Ukraine) decorate their living quarters, household belongings and musical instruments with a style of ornamental painting that is characterized by fantastic flowers and other natural elements, based on careful observation of the local flora and fauna. This art is rich in symbolism: the rooster stands for fire and spiritual awakening, while birds represent light, harmony and happiness. In folk belief, the paintings protect people from sorrow and evil.
Sometimes it seems to me that the idea for some of monanimals was taken from the incredible fantastic characters of the Petrykivka painting.
