Valeriia Laktina

My name is Valeria, I was born in Ukraine in 2001.
In 2020, I graduated from the Kharkov College of Construction, Architecture and Design with a degree in urban planning.

As a child, my favorite pastime was to re-draw characters from children's books. Throughout my life I have been involved in painting and still lifes until I found myself in portraiture. I like to convey people's emotions on paper, to show them to the world the way I see and feel them.
Read information from the eyes and try to convey it to you. Apparently this is where my love for eye cutting comes from.

I work in the photorealism genre. Most of my works are done using the charcoal brush technique; the tools I use are: mechanical pencil, charcoal, brush, graphite, white gel pen.
