Victoria Wolny

Whilst studying for her scientific degree at Warwick University, Victoria Wolny became increasingly interested in the use of colour; not only as a medium in which to paint but also to directly stimulate or influence the viewer. Over the years, she has developed her own technique and style involving the manipulation of oil paint. The result is a dramatic collision of both colour and texture, giving her paintings a changeable character in natural and artificial lights.

Her schooling in art came from her late father, Andrzej Blazej Marian Wolny; a classical painter and theosophist. Her styles have evolved from landscapes and figurative work in childhood and adolescence, to a very definitive abstract expressionism.

To date, Victoria has exhibited all over the UK, including the Mall Galleries, Lighthouse Gallery and the Menier Gallery. She has been shortlisted for the Royal Academy and had several Radio and TV interviews including BBC Joe Lycett Summer Exhibitionist. More recently, she has been involved in the movie, Chinese Whispers. Not only providing artwork to be featured in the film, but also giving artistic direction behind the scenes.
