Chamomile is a symbol of purity and tenderness, a drop of sunshine on earth, a smile of nature, a gentle embodiment of summer and joy. You can write a thousand more such epithets and still they will not convey all the charm, purity and, at the same time, simplicity of this flower. That is what I have tried to depict in this painting. And besides it is still the main flower on which guess on the beloved (loves-not-loves), tearing off the petals. And the proof of love can be found in the only surviving petal of the chamomile, after all the others have been torn off.

Radiant palette, vegetal ornaments, hidden magic of sunlight — the eternal image of the blossoming tree of life of Petrikovsky painting. Tree of Life — as a symbol of transformation of chaos into space, embodies the traditions of cultural heritage of our ancestors. Seven generations — symbolises the combination of energy centres and is depicted by the motifs of the Petrikovsky painting plant ornament. Petrikovsky painting reflects the spiritual unity of man with nature and proclaims the idea of cyclical life. Petrikovka painting, or as they say ‘petrikovka’, is a folk decorative and ornamental painting that originated in the Dnieper region in the village of Petrikovka, which gave its name and was the origin of the art itself. Historically, Petrikovka painting comes from mural painting, which was most widespread among rural houses. Since antiquity, in addition to decoration of dwellings, the painting of chests and a wide range of consumer items made of wood and other materials became widespread, which began to develop, spread, acquire new features and turn into modern painting. The phenomenon of Petrikovsky painting is a combination of bright colours, magical shapes and sunlight, and their transformation into a deep symbolism of folk art. The main element of Petrikovsky painting is a flower — a symbol of beauty, richness and lushness of nature and blossoming life; the bale — as a symbol of Ukraine — in the painting acts as a symbol of female beauty. The tree of life in Petrikov painting is a simultaneous combination of the symbol of creation, immortality, wisdom and protection with the image of the paradise blossoming tree of life, which blossoms together with folk art and continues to please the eye for centuries, glorifying Ukraine and its masters.

I don’t know what the scientific name of this cactus species is, but it is popularly known as Night Beauty. The cactus shoots out a long shaft from its body, up to 20cm long and 1.5cm in diameter, which blooms into a beautiful flower up to 15cm in diameter with a delicate fragrance. The flower begins to bloom in the evening and blooms and fragrances for only one night. As the sun rises it fades. This year, the cacti on my windowsills bloomed especially abundantly. And one gave out three flowers at once, which opened at the same time. I decided to capture this beauty on canvas. It is a pity that it is impossible to capture this fragrance…

The light delicate fragrance of roses, like a memory of summer… Summer is a special time of year that brings warmth, sunshine and a sense of freedom. It is a period when days become longer and nights become shorter, giving more time to enjoy nature and relaxation and is associated with holidays, travel, picnics, the sea and carefree time with friends and family. These are the moments when life seems brighter, when you can leave your everyday worries behind and plunge into a world of adventure and new discoveries.

The Firebird is a character from the Slavic epic, an incarnation of the god of the sun and thunderstorm. Its radiance blinds the eyes like the sun or lightning. The Firebird is followed by fairy-tale good men, and to the one who masters at least one of its feathers comes great happiness. The bird lives in another world — the Thirtieth Kingdom, in the paradise garden of Iria, and is connected with the netherworld. The Firebird shines brightly, emitting red, orange and yellow light like a bonfire. She eats golden apples, which give eternal youth, beauty and immortality, and drinks water from living springs. And when she sings, she cures diseases and heals the blind. From its open beak the sounds of thunder roll out and brilliant sparks of lightning scatter. Sometimes you can find a feather that has fallen out of the Firebird’s tail. Taken into a dark room, it will replace the strongest lighting. It is impossible to catch the bird with bare hands — you can get burned or burnt. In Slavic folklore, it is both a blessing and a messenger of doom for its captor. The feather that has fallen out can retain the properties of the feather plumage of the Firebird for a long time. It glows and gives warmth. And when the feather is extinguished, it turns into gold. At night, the Firebird flies around the garden, burning like a flame; if she flies somewhere, everything around her lights up at once. One feather of hers is worth more than the whole kingdom, and the Firebird herself has no price at all. The Firebird dies every autumn and is reborn in spring.

From a physical point of view, an ornament is simply some kind of pattern that is aesthetically appealing. But this is only a superficial understanding. Such patterns are a more perfect language, in which you can talk not only with other people, but also with the Universe. Ornaments in the ancient Slavs were used as amulets: it is not just a tradition, it is something that really works. The ancient Slavs knew that with the help of ornaments you can express the very language of Nature, which has never been hostile to people. And by using ornaments, you can attract divine forces for your defence. It was also found out that images and patterns of our ancestors are not just drawings — they are able to deliver information to the oldest part of the brain — the medulla oblongata, where the deepest codes of our memory are stored. Thus, Slavic patterns are able to have a profound positive effect on both the body and consciousness of a person. Ornaments reflect the impact of sound, and therefore such patterns themselves are also capable of structuring water and, therefore, directly influence human health, harmonise all its internal systems with nature. Thus, the clothes of the ancient Slavs, embroidered with sacral ornaments, can not only correct DNA failures, improve health, harmonise consciousness, but also at a deep level to establish harmony between people and nature. Ancient Slavic ornaments are not just patterns, but sacral symbols, which are able to restore a person’s health, harmonise his consciousness, increase awareness and a sense of unity with the Universe.
