The village of Petrikovka in the Dnepropetrovsk region is one of the few where the traditions of ancient folk crafts are carefully preserved. The famous Petrykivka painting has long become the hallmark of Ukraine. Petrikovka was founded 230 years ago by Pyotr Kalnyshevsky himself. And immediately an interesting custom arose in this free Cossack village: women began to paint the walls of the huts with colorful floral patterns.
They were painted with brushes made of cat hair, matches wrapped in soft cloth, and just fingers. The paints were bred on eggs and milk, and the brightest colors were chosen to match the colorful nature of the Dnieper region.
The hostesses competed with each other, trying to make their home the most picturesque, and jealously looked at other people's art. The most diligent hostesses in Petrikovka were called "chepurushki". Thanks to them, painting skills were passed down from generation to generation until the 30s of the twentieth century. An attempt to revive the wonderful painting was undertaken by the village teacher Alexander Stateva. He opened a school and took the last Petrikov "chepurushka" - Tatiana Pata as a teacher.
