Vadim Kovalev demonstrates in his art an intriguing synthesis of the language of modern pop culture and traditional painting. Elements of surrealism in Kovalev's painting alternate with sentimental sensuality, dressed in an effective and skillful language of painting. His paintings create a visually powerful narrative that attracts the viewer of the digital age and reveals some of the unknown aspects of modern culture. He impresses with stylistic diversity
and the ability to move freely in the signs and techniques of painting.
Undoubtedly, he is a romantic, because the world he depicts does not exist
and never existed, it is an escape inherent in romanticism
on the self-created space of the mind, the search for the subconscious ideal.
In 1979 he began studies at the Riga Art School. In 1986, Vadim graduated from the Art School, and then he was enrolled at the State Art Academy of Latvia, at the Faculty of Graphic. In 1994, he successfully defended his thesis.
