Anonymous, Будинок з прикрасами / Decorated house

this image and the next two (2023) as on journal 20minut

The decorated house pictured above is located in the Kutkivtsi suburb of Ternopil, a city of 225,000 inhabitants (2021) in western Ukraine. 

These decorations are applied to two of the four exterior walls of the house, one along the street, the other on the left side wall seen from the street. 

The name of the occupant of the house, most likely the one who added the decorations, is unknown. 

As far as could be determined, there are two Ukrainian sources on the Internet that pay attention to this art environment,

Julia Inozemtseva, the journalist who wrote about the house, did not find the resident at home and neighbors were also unavailable. She had to limit herself to describing what could be seen on the outside of the house, with the picture of keyhole in the white circle as a particularly striking item.

The other source that does not name the creator is the website of Volt Agapeyev, an artist born in Ternopil, currently working in Kiev. He refers to the mural as an Inner Gingerbread House, where the mural offers extra protection from what is happening inside in the private sphere


Some factual information is available via Google Streetview. 

The image below shows the house as it looked in May 2015. It seems to have been made when the construction of the house had just been completed. 

So the application of the colorful decoration on the front and left side wall, including the remarkable keyhole, must have started after this date.
