"Summer Memory" Painting

Aleksandroi Victoria was born on May 11, 2003, in Chernivtsi, Ukraine. I currently live and work in Zhmerynka, Vinnytsia region. I studied at the Zhmerynka Art School. In 2021, I enrolled at Vinnytsia State Pedagogical University and received a bachelor's degree there. In 2024, I became a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine (NUAU). I am currently continuing to develop as an artist, improving my skills, participating in various art exhibitions, and traveling to plein air workshops with other artists or on my own. I love my work and am happy to have the opportunity to share my creativity with others. Aleksandroi Victoria about her work: I work in the style of realism, academicism, and partly impressionism. It is very important to me that my works not only reflect my own style, but also have the right academic foundation. That is why I always work only from life and in daylight, so as not to use artificial lighting, because it is only from life that it is possible to convey the correct form of objects and, most importantly, the correct colors. Many professional artists work this way and, despite their extensive experience, still prefer to work from life or, at least, use small works from life for larger-scale projects. Most of my works are painted on canvas with oil paints, as I believe that this material is best suited for professional painting. I also often use the imprimatura technique, which involves covering the canvas with a thin layer of oil paint with a solvent before the main work, which makes the colors in the painting deeper and more complex (this technique is also very often used by professional artists). I paint because I love the nature that surrounds me here in Ukraine, and I want to convey my admiration and love for these places to others through my work. Despite the difficult times our country is going through, its nature will remain incredibly beautiful and picturesque.
