About the Pertykivka Series
This collection of postal cards is inspired by the delicate artistry of Liudmyla Makey, a Ukrainian artist living and creating in Prishtina. Her work carries the timeless traditions of Petrykivka painting — an ornamental folk art included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list — reimagined through a contemporary, emotional lens.
How to order:
Each artwork in this series is a tribute to the resilience, beauty, and quiet strength of Ukrainian culture. Liudmyla’s brushstrokes combine floral motifs, symbolic berries, and flowing ornamental elements that have been passed down through generations. The monochrome palette used in these cards brings a modern, meditative focus to the traditional technique, highlighting the rhythm, harmony, and elegance of Petrykivka forms.
