Pysanky Easter Eggs
Image by Wolfgang Rottmann, 2020
 

Elaborate geometric and floral motifs in varying shades adorn these eggs, forming a richly patterned example of pysanky, the traditional Ukrainian method of decorating eggs with successive layers of beeswax and dye. The arrangement of forms and colours reflects long-established practice, with motifs passed down through generations and linked to ideas of renewal, protection, and the seasons.
