    “Vytynanka can express anything. About Vynnychenko, about architecture, about traditions. From the applied significance it transfers into graphic one. It is modern here. Keeping scissors in our hands is a tradition. We have also shown vytynanka in the interior – a lamp, a panel, a clock, a pillow, a tablecloth, a screen”, - mentioned the curator of the exhibition, member of the National Union of Masters of Folk Art of Ukraine, laureate of the Regional Award in Architecture, Heraldry, and Vexillology, and Decorative and Applied Art named after Yakiv Pauchenko in the nomination “decorative and applied art”, Larysa Harbuzenko.
    Vytynanka is a type of Ukrainian folk decorative art with ancient roots. Nowadays, the art of vytynanka acquired the second breath and is rapidly developing through the individual creative work of the masters of a folk art who increase the traditions of folk vytynanka art, broaden its visual art boundaries, deepen compositional structures, and give it a new meaning.
    The exhibited vytynanky made in traditional techniques, are noted by decorative value and clarity of shape, laconism, and elegancy of the artistic tools. Images embodied in vytynanky are based on the love for the native land, home, family, knowledge of history, culture, art, literature, and presuppose a conscious understanding of the need to preserve these national values.
