[Maky]

The Poppies [Maky] holds a special place in Ukrainian folklore and tradition, its scarlet petals symbolizing passion, remembrance, and the fleeting beauty of life. In Petrykivka painting, the Poppy is often depicted in lush meadows and verdant fields, its vibrant blooms standing in stark contrast to the verdant landscape. As a symbol of renewal and transformation, the Poppy reminds us to embrace the ephemeral beauty of each moment and to cherish the memories that shape our lives.
