The Artistry of Handmade Petrykivka Painting

Every candle holder in our collection tells a story through the traditional Petrykivka style. Our artisans preserve ancient traditions while adding their own creative vision to every piece:

  • 100% Hand-Painted: Every floral motif, mythical bird, and vibrant berry is applied by hand, often using a specialized brush made from cat hair to achieve incredibly fine details.

  • Author's Unique Designs: These are original, one-of-a-kind works. No two candle holders are identical, ensuring you own a truly exclusive piece of art.

  • Symbolic Motifs: Discover patterns that carry deep meaning—red flowers for the joy of life, green leaves for rebirth, and the "viburnum" (kalyna) for Ukrainian resilience.

  • Premium Materials: Our candle holders are primarily crafted from high-quality wood, providing a natural and durable base for the vivid tempera or acrylic paints.

  • Protective Finish: Multiple layers of lacquer protect the painting, ensuring the colors remain radiant and the surface stays heat-resistant for safe use with candles.
