Viktorija Valujeva

My creative path started in childhood, when the desire to speak a language of art was very important for me. Living through psychological trauma and overcoming the dead ends of the subconscious, I was able to reach the level of the stream of consciousness. In my work, the main feature is the experiment with a reflective surface, where the reflection is my subconscious which is accepted by me with all my trauma and searches. Becoming and moving from material to conceptual perception is the hallmark of my creative path. In my works, I explore the relationships and processes associated with the disclosure of the power of the subconscious and the versatility of forms in the Universe. I rely on observation of the conscious and unconscious and their manifestations, as reflected through the prism of self-perception. Thanks to the experience and inspiration that I look for in such concepts as the impermanence and relativity of phenomena, keeping a diary of visual images, I am inspired by the idea that everything we perceive is a projection of our mind. I combine abstract and realistic shapes, reducing everything to conveying the variability of perception of reality from a scientific point of view.
