Petrykivla painting is not only folk art that preserves the customs of decorating Ukrainian homes, but also modern painting that develops and acquires new features.

On December 5, 2013, the Petrykiv painting was included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

A characteristic feature of Petrykivka painting is the predominance of plant patterns (mostly floral) and the creation of primarily fantastic, unprecedented forms of flowers, which are based on careful observation of local flora, for example, "onions" or "curly flowers". Motifs of garden (dahlias, asters, tulips, roses) and meadow (daisies, cornflowers) flowers and viburnum berries, strawberries and grapes are widely used in painting. Characteristic of the patterns is also the image of an acanthus leaf, which is called a "fern", buds and feathery openwork leaves.. You can write your own content here, and fill in the blanks.

A characteristic feature of the Petrikovsky painting is that the entire drawing seems to be unfolded on a plane, has a superficial appearance. The ornament is built around one or more stems, to which all the elements of the main part of the ornament are attached. At the same time, the lines of stems and branches do not cross each other, and many elements of the painting (flowers, leaves, berries, etc.) have a silhouette image. The figures of birds, animals, and people mostly have a contour image. Animals are drawn in profile, and flowers are drawn in full.

A feature of the painting is also that the elements of the picture (petals, stems, berries, etc.) are drawn with one stroke.
