Valeriia Trukhina

Valeriia Trukhina is a Ukrainian contemporary artist currently based in Norway. Working primarily with acrylic on canvas, she creates large-scale botanical paintings that explore the relationship between nature, memory, and emotional experience.

Her practice is centered on flowers and plants, transforming familiar organic forms into expressive compositions that bring a sense of presence, calmness, and connection to interior spaces. Through scale, texture, and color, Valeriia seeks to highlight the beauty and resilience found in the natural world.

In 2025, she was awarded a Norwegian cultural grant supporting the development of her artistic practice and new body of work. Her current focus is the creation of a series of large-format botanical paintings intended for contemporary interiors, collectors, and exhibition opportunities.

Originally from Ukraine, Valeriia continues to develop her artistic career internationally while living and working in Norway.
