Maria Prymachenko (1908–1997) is one of the most renowned artists in Ukraine. She was a Ukrainian village folk artist engaged in embroidery, drawing as well as painting оn ceramics, a self-taught artist whose popular work of the naive or primitivism genre portrayed Ukrainian folk art based on animal and plant life. Many of her masterpieces are included in a collection of folk art at the National Museum in Kyiv.
Pablo Picasso once said after visiting a Prymachenko exhibition in Paris, “I bow down before the artistic miracle of this brilliant Ukrainian.”

6. Maria Prymachenko was born in 1909 and lived her whole life,
until 1997, in Ukraine. She is known as an icon of Naïve Art in
Ukraine. Her mystical beasts have become emblematic of the
whole Ukrainian folk tradition, which surrounded Maria
Prymachenko in her childhood: her mother embroidered, father
was a talented carpenter, grandmother painted Easter eggs.

In the 1930s, her works caught the eye of the then-famous artist
Tatyana Fleur, who took some of her works to an exhibition and
insisted that the girl go to Kyiv to study. Maria was invited to the
experimental workshops at the Kiev State Museum on the
territory of the Lavra (now this museum houses most of her
works, c. 650). The artist lived in Kyiv from 1935 to 1940,
during which time her works were exhibited throughout the
Soviet Union, exhibited in Moscow and even in Paris.

25. Her work became more diverse -
Maria painted, embroidered, and
became interested in ceramics. Her
ceramic jugs and dishes from this
period are kept in the State
Museum of Ukrainian Folk and
Decorative-Applied Arts.
Akim Gerasimenko, a recognized
master of Ukrainian ceramics,
willingly gave Primachenko his
products of various shapes, and she
painted them with images of red
chanterelles, terrible animals
walking on strawberry stalks of
blue monkeys or green crocodiles
covered with flowers.
