ABOUT

Hello, my name is Valentina, I am a professional artist and teacher.
I am a member of the "Union of Artists of Russia" the International Artists-Teachers Union, I actively draw and teach in my own art studio.
I paint contrasting, textured oil paintings and thin, poetic Monotype.

Art expands the boundaries of visible space, allows us to traverse to any place and time that we visited or crave to visit. That’s what I aspire to in my works. Painting in my small and cramped studio, I expand the space with my imagination and immerse into another world. The brighter the painting is - the stronger the emotions that I experienced.

Painting is a necessity to me. I have an urge to express visually things that I see or feel, things that affect me or transfer beauty. I like to start each painting as if it were something new, guided by my intuition, often guided by color first, I start work spontaneously, depending on the place and moment in which I am. I want to show the beauty that I see in my daily life, which sometimes connected to nostalgia. My daily life, my family. I have four sons, who are often inspire me, as well as the place where I live; landscapes and places where I have been; photographs that I have seen or taken; emotions that I experienced. I attempt to pass pain and joy through my heart and express it all with my artworks.

What I really value in art is the opportunity to reflect on canvas or carton something that touches one deeply in a free and sincere way. I want everyone to see how beautiful the world is. As people say, art is a mutual meditation with God.

That’s what people write about my works: “I want to look and get bright impressions and emotions. This is what happens when I look at your work. They stop and communicate with me, and I think with everyone! ”
