Embroidered Shirt Inspired by Polina Rayko

This white shirt is a tribute to the Black Sea region and inspired by the works of Polina Rayko, an artist who painted the walls and ceilings of her house in Oleshky. Working in the naïve style, she adorned her home with picturesque scenes, depicting flowers, angels, and even her own sisters as angels. We have taken these motifs directly from her artwork, stylized them, and embroidered them onto the shirt to preserve her vision.
