The Artist

About the Artist

Yuliya Yatsenko

I'm Yuliya Yatsenko, a Ukrainian artist working in the tradition of Petrykivka painting — art infused with soul, symbols and quiet magic.

I paint original, one-of-a-kind works in acrylic — flowers and birds in the Petrykivka style, on wood and canvas — and handmade greeting cards with Petrykivka miniature paintings. Each piece is painted by hand, and no two are alike. I studied Petrykivka painting under Kateryna Kryvolap and Olena Grishyna.

I take part in exhibitions in Ottawa, and my paintings have found their walls far from home: they now live in Canada, Ukraine, Egypt, Norway, the United States and Poland — each carrying a small piece of Ukrainian tradition with it.

I also love sharing this tradition: I have led Petrykivka workshops, including at the Capital Ukrainian Festival in Ottawa, where many participants painted their own small pieces, trying Petrykivka for the first time. I also offer workshops for private parties and special events. For me, a workshop is about more than painting: it is a way to share Ukrainian culture and keep our traditions alive.
