Kateryna Bilokur was born in 1900 in Bohdanivka not far from Poltava. She started to paint at the age of 14. As family lived in the village she didn’t get any education.
Her first tries were made on old paper by a piece of charcoal from the stove. Kateryna’s family didn’t like her hobby. Her parents wished their daughter married and led a traditional family life. Despite their will she devoted herself to painting.
Oil paints were her passion. She didn’t like watercolour as it was rather plain. However, the lack of art education faced her with a serious problem, after a while oil paints started to crack. To prevent it Kateryna Vasylivna started to put oil paint on canvas as the base of future masterpiece. She used to make paint-brushes of cat’s fur.
Music was her another passion. She loved radio, opera and used to listen to the broadcasts every day. Once Kateryna sent her picture to a famous opera diva Oksana Petrusenko who was extremely surprised by the great talent of a country girl. Petrusenko supported a young artist and organized her the first exhibition in Poltava in 1940.
The exhibition was a successful beginning. A talented artist with a unique individual technique became famous all over the world. Pablo Picasso admired her beautiful flowers.
Although she became famous and got a “Soviet folk artist” award she still lived in the village with her old mother and numerous everyday hardships.
Her heritage is 82 masterpieces. Bilokur’s still lifes of flowers and country food like tomatoes, carrots, apples are known all over the world.

The woman of hard destiny, she had no opportunity to study as became disabled after a serious illness at the age of 7. Since that time she started to paint, gifting people happiness and joyful. Not only painting was her hobby, but also embroidering, ceramics and poetry.
Maria Pryimachenko got fame after the first exhibition in 1936 in Kyiv. Her beasts from Bolotnia had a great success, as well as she got the first prize.
World War II brought misfortune to every family in Ukraine. Maria’s family wasn’t an exception. Her husband died, he would never see his son. Although her spirit wasn’t broken, she went on painting and in 1966 got Shevcheko National Prize for the cycle of decorative paintings.
After the terrible nuclear disaster she created an impressive Chornobyl cycle (1986). Pryimachenko left more than 800 paintings. Nearly 650 are stored in the Ukrainian Folk Decorative Art museum.
