A courtyard in Germany. Cleanliness and German order

A typical farmstead in northern Germany (Province of Schleswig-Holstein). While on a business trip, I saw this courtyard while driving by in my car. It was impossible not to stop. It appealed to me very much and I decided to paint it on paper with watercolours.

Ornament

Ornament. Ancient sacred symbols

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.
The ornaments of Petrikovsky painting were used as amulets: it is not just a tradition, it is something that really works. With the help of ornament one 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, Petrikovsky painting is 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, clothes, rushniki 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.
Petrikovsky painting’s 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.
