'My Home, My Truth, My mother did it all and passed it on to me.
She sewed, she spun, she baked bread and pounded millet,
She made porridge And I ate Because I had to go to the collective farm,
To plough the land using cows and to sow wheat', 1989

"Дару онуку Івану у день народження Бажаю щастя і здоров’я і доцін 1996 М.П" Translation "To my grandson Ivan on his birthday. Wishing him happiness and health and dignity 1996 M. P" The work was gifted by Maria to her grandson Ivan (father of Anastasia, who kindly donated this work) for his birthday. It has always been with the family. Maria Prymachenko was one of Ukraine's most celebrated and beloved artists, and earned fame in her lifetime for dazzlingly colorful and wildly inventive scenes of animals—lions, birds, horses, and other beasts—covered in riotously hued, almost psychedelic patterns.
