Petrikivka painting (or simply "Petrykivka") is a traditional Ukrainian decorative painting style, originating from the village of Petrykivka in Dnipropetrovsk oblast of Ukraine, where it was traditionally used to decorate house walls and everyday household items. The earliest known examples of this style date from the 17th century, but it continues to thrive and develop as a modern art form.
The distinctive features of this folk art style are its flower patterns, distinctive brush techniques, and its traditionally white background (contemporary painters, however, often work on black, green, red or blue backgrounds).
In 2012, the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine recognized Petrykivka painting as a part of intangible cultural heritage of Ukraine, and it was included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2013. Petrykivka painting has become a "brand" in Ukrainian popular culture, and a "Petrykivka" trademark belonging to the artisans of Petrykivka village has been created. (Wikipedia)
Hello!
My name is Alexander Samokhval, I am an artist from Ukraine. I live in Kiev.
I have several professions: engineer - elekstromehanik, programmer, builder, accountant, financier, banker, lawyer, cabinetmaker.
In each profession, I reached great success and made a good career.
But my favorite activity is painting. I devote all my free time to this. Now I am a pensioner, I have a lot of free time, and I got the opportunity to translate my ideas into colors on canvas and cardboard. I am very happy when my work likes not only me and gives pleasure to people.

Всем привет!
Меня зовут Александр Самохвал, я художник из Украины. Живу в Киеве.
Я имею несколько профессий: инженер-электромеханик, программист, строитель, финансист, банкир, юрист, столяр-краснодеревщик. В каждой профессии я достиг больших успехов и сделал хорошую карьеру.
Но моё любимое занятие – живопись. Я посвящаю этому всё свое свободное время. Сейчас я пенсионер, свободного времени у меня много, и я получил возможность воплощать свои идеи красками на холсте и картоне. Очень счастлив, когда мои работы нравятся не только мне и дарят удовольствие людям.
