“The Mezen painting (Ме́зенская ро́спись) is one of the most ancient Russian art crafts. Using this technique, Russian folk artists decorated most of the household items that accompanied a person from birth through its entire life, where it brought joy and beauty. It also occupied a large space in the design of facades and of hut interiors.” (1) Some of the motifs used Mezen painting comes from the rock paintings in Alta, Norway. These symbols were seen by the indigenous people of the most northern region of Scandinavia and Russia.
