About the Item

"Falling to Pieces," a poignant work by Victoria Novak from 2012, is an oil on canvas that captures a moment of vulnerability and introspection. This original piece measures 39.40 x 39.40 inches and is framed to 41.40 x 41.40 inches, allowing the viewer to fully engage with the subject's emotional state. The painting depicts a solitary figure, lost in thought, with a pose that suggests a moment of personal reflection. Novak’s use of chiaroscuro brilliantly highlights the contours of the figure’s form, while the background's abstract quality lends an air of uncertainty and depth. The artwork’s textured surface and the interplay of light and shadow create a dynamic composition that is both arresting and contemplative. In "Falling to Pieces," Novak has created a work that goes beyond the aesthetic to evoke a sense of empathy and connection. This piece is a true testament to her skill in conveying complex emotions through the medium of oil painting, making it an exceptional addition to any art collection. About the Artist: Realist painter Victoria Novak began her artistic career as an interior designer in her native Russia, where she graduated from the Academy of Arts. After a few years as a successful designer, she moved to Europe where she earned a Master Degree in Interior and Living Design from Domus Academy in Milan. After that, she started working in the studio Fuksas in Rome. A move to Rome, where her love for Italian Renaissance developed, inspired Victoria to devote herself to painting. Of adopting the time-honored techniques, Victoria says: “At first it was more out of curiosity, but in the end, I discovered a method that helps me to realize my ideas in the most satisfying way.” Working with incredible attention to detail, color and form, Victoria paints portraits and still lifes that deliver drama and beauty in organic, natural ways. She currently lives in Italy, where she continues to develop as an artist and illustrator. In 2018 she became an Adobe Partner joining the “Start with Stock” program for Adobe Stock. Victoria’s work has been featured in “International Artist Magazine”, “American Art Collector” and included in numerous juried exhibitions. Her paintings can also be found in private collections in Russia, Malta, Italy, Switzerland and the U.S.
