Victoria Kovalenchikova’s artworks are an outlook at the transformation of the world surrounding us; a shout in the cold infinity of cosmos. It is an attempt to understand the impact of people on the planet through the language of art. The contemporary trend in her paintings is characterized by a figurative integration of abstract elements. Creatively mixing media from cement, resin, acrylic and epoxy on stretched canvas, Victoria’s work is simultaneously sculptural and painting. The surface of this textural 16 inch tall by 21 inch wide artwork is covered with a shiny layer of clear, glass-like resin, which enhances the colors and adds depth. The sculptural, blue and green elements protrude beyond the smoother, parts of the artwork. The sides are finished as a continuation of the front, creating more layers and detailing. It is signed, titled and dated on back by the artist. It does not require framing and is wired and ready to hang. Free delivery within Los Angeles area. Affordable US and global shipping options are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by Artspace Warehouse is included. Her series on the World is immediately familiar, provoking us to step closer and have a better look, then after a few moments the nuances of her art appear. Her training is evident in her skill in creating the textures. Her charisma can be felt by her depiction of the ocean and their various shades of colors. Victoria’s work is magnetic and is being consistently collected by art lovers. Victoria Kovalenchikova was born in Belarus in 1978. She lives and works in Amsterdam (Netherlands) since 2008.
