Paraska Vlasenko

(1900–1960)
Master of Ukrainian decorative painting. She worked in various types of folk art, created sketches for carpets, embroideries, architectural structures, printing, as well as decorative easel panels, painted ceramic products.
The formation of P. Vlasenko’s creative personality was certainly facilitated by the creative atmosphere that prevailed in her native village of Skoptsi, where an educational and demonstration carpet workshop was organized, where the artistic process was managed by professional artist Yevgenia Prybylska.
In the National Museum of Ukrainian Folk Decorative Art, more than 500 works of the artist are preserved, which demonstrate the bright originality of the artist and her closeness to the traditions of folk painting.
