Dziś, w Domu Malarek w Zalipiu, miała miejsce promocja albumu „Tam gdzie domy zakwitają – Zalipie”. Jest to album fotograficzny, pod redakcją Dyrektor Domu Malarek – Wandy Chlastawy, do którego wykonałem serię zdjęć dokumentujących tradycję zdobienia domostw Zalipia w kwiatowe elementy, przez miejscowe malarki. Zalipia chyba nikomu przedstawiać nie trzeba, miejscowość znana jest ze swych tradycji na całym świecie… W dalszej części wpisu trochę zdjęć – część

Remember the little Polish village where every house is covered with painted flowers? Well, one 90-year-old resident of Louka, Czech Republic, is aiming to make her hometown just as charming, and spends every spring and summer adorning window and door frames with majestic designs.

Last year, just after I returned home from my very first trip to Poland, I saw some pictures of houses decorated with colorful flower motifs. I immediately clicked on the link to find out more…
Zalipie, Poland
Many of you might’ve already heard about Zalipie, a small village in southern Poland where an old custom still survives nowadays: houses are decorated in rich flowery patterns both on the ins…
No matter your age, you're never too young or old to add beauty to our world.
This uber-quaint Polish village is known for its habit of painting elaborate floral motifs on just about everything.
"I try to help decorate the world a bit," says Anežka Kašpárková (Agnes Kasparkova), a 91 year old granny, or babička as she would be called in Czech.
Once upon a time, in a small Polish village called Zalipie, somebody painted a flower on their ceiling in order to cover up a soot mark caused by the stove. Ventilation was poor back then, and soot stains were a common sight in most if not all of the houses, and so other people started concealing the marks with their own little flowers until every house was covered in them.
For the townsfolk of Zalipie, every day is a celebration since the isolated outpost blossomed into one of Poland's most iconic villages.

Zalipie, Poland's painted village near Kraków, where almost all buildings are painted with flowers in a naïve folk art style.
Nel voivodato della piccola Polonia c’è una piccola perla da non perdere!! Mi riferisco al minuscolo paesino di Zalipie, per noi una delle più belle "scoperte" di un viaggio in Polonia, tanto più che se ne fa scarsa o nessuna menzione nelle guide. Zalipie, il paese delle artiste, dista una trentina di chilometri da Tarnow, ma è come catapultarsi in un altro mondo, in altri ritmi. La caratteristica che ha reso noto Zalipie è che tutte le case sono decorate da splendidi e coloratissimi motivi floreali; la tradizione vuole che questa moda sia iniziata per camuffare le macchie di muffa e fuliggine che deturpavano gli interni delle povere case di Zalipie. Questa arte, che via via si è estesa alla decorazione di oggetti in legno, alla creazione di ricami, bambole ecc. tutte caratterizzate da motivi floreali, è praticata esclusivamente dalle donne. Esiste un delizioso museo etnografico che raccoglie vari pezzi decorati con questa tecnica perché è una tradizione che sta sparendo.
