The "Treasures of Ukraine" collection also included the "Angels" scarf, dedicated to the artist from the Kherson region, Polina Raiko, and her unique, fairy-tale house-museum in Oleshky, which was flooded due to an explosion of the construction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station by Russian military.
Polina Raiko did not have an art education and started painting at a mature age, working in the genre of naive art. She painted her entire house with pictures that brought to life unprecedented fairy-tale animals, special patterns, and Bible stories. This painting with angels and flowers is characteristic of folk wall paintings, one of the varieties of which is the "wallpaper" painting, which is formed by the rhythmic repetition of motifs to fill the space, reducing the emptiness to nothing.
