The masterpiece of Velazquez Menina inspired me. This is a double bottom picture. The 5-year-old Infanta (Spanish princess) came to the artist's workshop, accompanied by her retinue. She wanted to see how a portrait of her parents, the royal couple, was created. Half of the characters seem to be looking at us. But in reality, they look at the king and queen, whom Velazquez draws. Therefore, he stands next to the canvas. The fact that this is exactly so, we learn through the mirror behind the artist, in which the portrayed are reflected. My interpretation: I stand behind the canvas. The little princess and menina (in English - maid honors), in the form of an angel, protects her. The background of the painting resembles architecture with a strong natural influence of great Gaudi. The views of all characters are directed at the viewer. The artist does your portrait, dear viewer!

Valentina Kisseleva was born near Moscow (Russia). She entered the Institute of Fine Art in Ivanovo, the faculty of painting (1967- 1971). It is painting that is the most comfortable way for the artist to speak with the viewers and to talk to herself. By her artworks she tries to tell us about important vital things, about her emotions, moreover she gives the viewer philosophical questions for considering. From Valentina’s point of view, the most important goal of her art is the representation of interconnection of the simple and difficult, which surrounds us in our ordinary life. Valentina is aimed to give the maximum simple images which embody difficult philosophical themes. Her artistic style was formed due to the studying of the art graphics design in Belarus Art Academy in Minsk (1972 - 1977), the academic style of painting in the Academy of Arts and the coloring and forms of icons. The compilation of the different artistic schools and Valentina’s comprehension of art have formed the recognizable author’s style. The school of graphic design led her to a peculiar secession-symbolic amalgam in painting, where graphics appealing to symbols, expressive deformation, stylization of figurative forms and autonomous color function play a key role. She uses means that allow her to deprive reality of its objective impact. In consonance with the mood of her psyche, she strives to fill her work with new meaning on the basis of a spontaneous, irrational unconsciously inspired representation of realities that do not obey the laws of spatial relationships, proportions, perspectives. With excited lines, signs, or text, she denominates and rhythmizes the plane of the canvas. Artist’s paintings are featured in many private collections in USA and abroad. Her name was included in catalogue “Graphic Designer Union of Belarus”.
