Nadia Nestorivna Babenko belongs to the glorious chamber of masters of traditional folk art, whose names are inscribed in golden letters into the history of national culture.

As a phenomenally talented artist Nadezhda Babenko brought Ukrainian carpet weaving to a qualitatively higher degree of dullness. Her powerful creative personality, the originality of artistic thinking allowed the masters to develop Ukrainian carpet culture, freely interweaving in the composition decorative generalized vegetative and geometric motifs, fairy-tale birds in a fantastic coloring. At the same time, she remained faithful to centuries-old artistic canons of the Ukrainian national carpet.*
