Folk Art 'Kalyna' in Art Journal

Ukrainian heritage comes to life in our Folk Art 'Kalyna' in Art Journal – Writing Notebook Inspired by Ukrainian Heritage. Inspired by the intricate brushwork of Petrykivka folk art, this aesthetic journal carries the deep symbolism of kalyna berries, a national emblem of Ukraine. More than just a decorative motif, kalyna represents resilience, beauty, and the eternal cycle of life—flourishing in times of hardship and standing tall as a symbol of hope. This art journal is not only a writing notebook but also a meaningful gift for those who cherish creativity and cultural storytelling.

Petrykivka painting is not only visually captivating but also deeply rooted in artistic tradition. Ukrainian female artists once crafted their original art using natural pigments derived from the environment—blending rich colors with fresh egg yolk along with water. This technique ensured colors remained bright for years, resisting fading even under sunlight. Another remarkable feature of this popular art is the "transition stroke," where two or more hues seamlessly blend within a single brushstroke, creating a mesmerizing gradient effect. This creative art embodies the essence of free-flowing expression, making this vintage wall art notebook not just a practical tool but a cherished keepsake for lovers of wall painting and traditional artistry.
