Samchykivka Murals
Folk Art in Contemporary Spaces
I create large-scale hand-painted murals inspired by Samchykivka, a rare Ukrainian folk art tradition known for its rich symbolism, ornamental rhythm, and storytelling through colour.
Each mural is a site-specific artwork — designed to reflect the identity of a place while connecting Ukrainian cultural heritage with the surrounding environment, including Australian flora, fauna, and local narratives.
Why Samchykivka Works as a Mural
Samchykivka painting is naturally suited to murals:
Flowing ornamental compositions that adapt beautifully to walls
Symbolic elements that tell stories and create emotional connection
A timeless aesthetic that feels both traditional and contemporary
Murals in this style become more than decoration - they become visual landmarks and cultural statements.
Where Murals Work Best
I create murals for:
Public and community spaces
Cultural centres and galleries
Cafés, creative studios and small businesses
Private homes seeking a meaningful artistic feature
Indoor and outdoor projects are welcome.
My Process
Every mural project follows a thoughtful, collaborative process:

We discuss the space, its purpose, and the story the mural should tell.Design & Symbolism
I create a sketch using Samchykivka symbols, colours, and motifs adapted to the site.Approval & Planning
Size, timeline, and materials are confirmed before painting begins.Painting
The mural is hand-painted on site using professional, durable materials.Final Protection
A protective finish is applied when required for longevity.
Materials & Durability
I use professional-grade paints and coatings suitable for:

Public and private environments
Each project is approached with respect for the surface, the space, and its future use.
