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, Kovalenchikova’s work is simultaneously sculptural and painterly.
The variegated surface of this large 40 inch high by 59 inch wide textural artwork is covered with a shiny layer of clear, glass-like resin, which enhances the colors and adds depth. Sculptural topographical elements protrude beyond the smoother parts of the artwork. The sides are finished as a textural continuation of the front, and also feature several layers as well as unique detailing. This artwork is signed, titled and dated on the back by the artist. It does not require framing and is wired and ready to hang. Free local Los Angeles delivery included. Affordable Continental U.S. and global shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.

Victoria Kovalenchikova was born in Mogilev, Belarus, and received her degree from the Belarusian State Academy of Arts. 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 skillful application of textures, provoking a harmonious juxtaposition of elements that humbles our approach to the earth.
Kovalenchikova states, “Although we humans may feel like disconnected, independent fragments, Earth reminds us that we are all united on this place: notes within a larger symphony of life. No different from the massive whale in the ocean or the tiniest needle of a pine tree. There is no way out; to save ourselves we must save our home”
Kovalenchikova's works can be found in private and corporate art collections and museums worldwide; select institutions include the Museum of Russian Art in Jersey City, the Museum of Belarusian State Academy of Arts, the Contemporary Fine Art Museum in Belarus, the Romanov Regional Study of Local Lore Museum, the Belarusian Embassy in Germany and the Netherlands, and other international private collections.
