In recent years, Petrykivka has gained official recognition as part of Ukraine’s intangible cultural heritage and is included on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
For me, Petrykivka is more than just a pattern; it is a worldview expressed through rhythm, movement, and breath—truly the art of free people. Through my art, I hope to share the beauty and depth of Ukrainian culture with a wider audience and contribute to its preservation for future generations.
