Creative work

Larysa works mostly in the ceremonial doll genre, which takes its roots in traditional Chigyryn folk doll. This doll was investigated by Marko Grushevsky at the beginning of the XX century. Ethnographic roots can be clearly seen in the Larysa’s works though they are usually perceived as very modern. The author possesses delicate esthetic taste, sense of coloristic harmony and proportion in decorations. Good choice of materials and tactful use of different manual embroidery techniques, each time multiplied by unique original decisions in images make her handiworks exquisite national souvenirs for the most choosy clients and situations.
