Welcome to Barva!

A world for those who belong among the woods.

Inspired by the Ukrainian word barva, meaning color, every piece is born of a deep love for the many colors of life and nature.

Here you can find candles and stationery for those who belong in the woods.

Hi there! Pryvit!

My name is Olena, I am a Ukrainian living in Den Bosch, and I found local birds absolutely fascinating.

As an artist, I draw my inspiration from thrifted local antique books and taking long walks in the local parks.

I love painting birds and everything I see in nature, and layering it onto antique paper alongside a good scented candle.
