Wind of change Painting

Victoria is a Russian-born artist based in Switzerland who works with acrylic on canvas and combines realistic representation of the subject with abstract and bold colour scheme - the style referred as ‘spontaneous realism’. Victoria uses photographs, mostly in black and white, as a starting point to capture the figures and its proportions. It is the light that dictates further geometry. Going from the extreme contrast, Victoria gradually adds the details and colours to achieve the balance. Instead of descriptions, Victoria accompanies her painting with songlyrics, often originated in her mother tongue.
