Flowers of Zalipia

In one of villages on the Vistula river the walls of houses are covered with marvellous flowers. “I got a great inspiration and since then I’ve been painting: flowers, bouquets, fire-places, rugs, plates. This is my vocation. If I were a man, I would probably be a priest. But as I am a woman, I’ve become an artist” – says one of the characters. Flowered walls have become a Zalipian tradition, which is being sustained by the fourth generation of painters.
