Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to explore the sociocultural integration of Roma into Ukrainian culture in the XXI century, to determine the phenomenon of Roma art among prominent figures in the Ukrainian scene (Based on the work of Igor Krykunov, Petro Chornuy), to trace the interconnection and interplay of their creativity on the formation of Ukrainian culture. The methodology of the study is based on the use of cultural-genetic, sociological, structural-systemic, comparative methods for identifying sources of origin and essential characteristics of representatives of different ethnic groups of Roma as a specific component of cultural life and the newest structure of the Ukrainian society. The scientific novelty of the article is that it first defines the concept of "Roma art," compares the characteristics of different Roma groups ("servu" and Ruska Roma), reveals the origin, formation, contemporary status, and influence of Roma art on the development of Ukrainian culture of the XXI century. Conclusions. The sociocultural integration of Roma has a significant impact on the development of Ukrainian culture of the XXI century. A large number of Roma ethnic groups live in Ukraine. Three groups of the Roma population were most widespread: "servu" or Ukrainian Roma, Ruska Roma, and "lovari" (Hungarian Roma). Roma were actively involved in social processes, bringing their own cultural values to the country where they lived. Yes, the contribution of Roma artists is quite essential in contemporary art. The study of the creativity of contemporary Roma art gives grounds to claim that these personalities position their creativity as an integral part of Ukrainian culture. This is reflected in the work of Petro Chornuy and Igor Krikunov; their creativity is an asset for the Ukrainian culture. It clearly demonstrates the sociocultural integration of the Roma into Ukrainian culture of the XXI century.
