Exit Workshop in European Cities
The main purpose of the Samchykivka Art workshop is to keep this unique Ukrainian art technique alive and introduce it to people across Europe.
There is a well-known story from the time of the Second World War. When Winston Churchill was presented with the national budget, he asked:
— “Where is the budget for culture?”
— “But there is a war. What culture?”
— “If there is no culture, then what are we fighting for?”
This story perfectly reflects my attitude towards art. Culture is what we build the future for. It preserves memory, shapes our identity and helps us remain human even in the most difficult times.
During the workshop, you will create your own Samchykivka painting using bright, joyful colours and experience the positive emotions that come with making something by hand.
Everything we do should contribute to a better and more beautiful quality of life. By connecting with the Ukrainian tradition of Samchykivka Art, you gain a new creative experience, positive emotions and inspiration for change.
That is why this workshop is about much more than painting. It is an opportunity to discover a unique part of Ukrainian culture, experience the joy of creativity and take a piece of this living tradition with you.
Payment: 100% advance payment of the total workshop fee.
Additional costs: travel, accommodation and materials are charged separately.

Ukraine Kyiv, 2022
Workshop Samchykivka Art for the Coca-Cola team.
It is one of my most exciting projects. The world brand proposed cooperation which resulted in a painting and a mural in the style of Samchykivka. Their attention was drawn to the art, which fascinates with brightness, courage, and optimism.
And I depicted «Sunflower». It allegedly wanted to be born itself. So easy, joyful, and natural, as if it grew independently to bring new colors to life.
The Sunflower bloomed on the wall in the new Coca-Cola office in Kyiv. It turned into a flower in its dynamic growth, symbolizing development and improvement, and it will inspire employees to create exciting and notable projects. The painting will be kept in the Museum of the Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta.
This project is fundamentally necessary for me as for the artist. Because it means that my previous efforts and work on the revival of the Samchykivka art are noticeable.
Why did Coca-Cola choose the Samchykivka art? For its bright colors, unexpected plot twists, charisma, challenge, and that it brings life. And the company's vision is to refresh the world and make a difference.
This project opens a new Ukrainian folk identity that shows national culture. Coca-Cola believes in the power of art to lend warmth and celebrate artistry and craftsmanship. So this is another opportunity for the brand to express its love for art.
I want to thank the Coca-Cola company for such an honor. I wish them success and that the brand always be turned to the sun and light like our Ukrainian sunflowers.

On August 24 We celebrated the Independence Day of Ukraine with a workshop Samchykivka Art. 💙💛
During the Second World War, Churchill was brought to consider the country's budget. Flipping through the document, he asked: — And where are the expenses for culture? - The war is on! What culture? — If there is no culture, then why are we fighting? Only such an approach to culture allows the state to hope for its independence.
Germany Dusseldorf, 2022
In April and May 2022, I held master classes on Samchykivka Art in Dusseldorf. I am happy that I was able to gather so many people together that we painted, have fun, and continue to revive Samchykivka Art, and along with it, ourselves. I am grateful to the museum K20 K21 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen (https://www.kunstsammlung.de/de) for providing their beautiful space, materials, and the opportunity to gather together. We had a very homely atmosphere as if we were all old friends, but in reality, we were seeing each other for the first time. There was a very strong feeling of Unity, so I hope that our work painting houses for all Ukrainians who lost their homes will lay a solid foundation for the new Ukraine so that every Ukrainian will have a beautiful home again.
Ukrainian Days at De Hoge Veluwe National Park
August 31 - September 1, 2019, In the days of Ukraine in the Netherlands, in Het Nationale Park De Hoge Veluwe, at the invitation of the Embassy of Ukraine in the Netherlands, there was an exhibition of my works with Samchykivka painting. I am very happy and grateful for the invitation of the Ukrainian embassy, Natalia Klimkina, and Vsevolod Chentsov, for the opportunity to introduce Ukrainians and Dutch to this bright painting. I also took part in a souvenir fair. A concert was held with the participation of Ukrainian bands. And also I gave a workshop with Samchykivka painting. Victoria Radochyna's works are currently on display at the embassy in The Hague.
