Victoria Novak
"Broken Hearts" Original Painting, Lush Pomegranate Still Life

2012

About the Item

Victoria Novak's "Broken Hearts" is a striking example of contemporary still life painting, brought to life through her masterful use of oil on canvas. Rendered in an impressively realistic style, this artwork, completed in 2012, captures the rich textures and vibrant colors of pomegranates in various stages of being open. Measuring 23.60 x 27.60 inches, the painting is encased in a sophisticated frame, extending its dimensions to 31.60 x 35.60 inches. The artwork delves into the symbolic realm, with the pomegranate often representing fertility, abundance, and the ephemeral nature of life in historical contexts. Novak's attention to detail and the interplay of light and shadow on the fruit's intricate interiors pull the viewer into a deeper contemplation of the cycles of growth and decay. "Broken Hearts" is not only an aesthetic achievement but also an original, handmade piece that reflects the artist's intimate engagement with her subject. Victoria Novak's background in fine arts and her dedication to classical techniques are evident in each brushstroke, conveying a tactile sense of the fruit's flesh and the weight of the seeds. The dark background juxtaposed with the luminous fruit highlights the dramatic and transient beauty of the subject matter. This piece would be a captivating addition to any collection, offering both visual pleasure and a touchstone for reflection. It's a testament to Novak's prowess in reviving the traditional still life genre with a modern sensibility. 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.
