Tetiana Protcheva

Her favorite colors and themes tell the ancient history of Ukraine; she uses black and red – the colors of the central region of Ukraine – with traditional simple designs, and regular geometrical shapes.

Now Protcheva decorates sweaters, jackets, blouses, and shirts with Ukrainian ornaments.

[citation needed] Protcheva invented the 3D embroidery style, which entered the Book of Records of Ukraine and created a new direction entitled "Glowing Art."

Working under the Glow Gallery international project, she has come up with a unique collection of embroidered portraits of prominent personalities, such as Steve Jobs, Andy Warhol, Leonardo da Vinci, and Jesus Christ that glow in the dark, as if coming back to life, and produce an unforgettable emotional and cultural effect.

[citation needed] In order to spread information about embroidery as the grand unifying symbol of Ukraine and present a positive image of the country, Pretcheva decided to create an embroidered map of Ukraine.
