Victoria Novak
"The Last" Citrus Elegance Still Life Oil Canvas

2013

About the Item

"The Last," a 2013 oil on canvas by Victoria Novak, is a testament to the timeless beauty and elegance of still life painting. Measuring 19.70 x 39.40 inches and framed to 21.70 x 41.40 inches, this elongated piece features a series of citrus fruits arrayed across a stone ledge, each fruit painted with meticulous care. Novak's skill in capturing the rough texture of the fruit's skin against the delicate, juicy segments of the citrus is on full display. The dark background serves to enhance the vivid oranges and yellows of the fruit, making them appear as if they are glowing from within. The careful arrangement of whole, halved, and peeled pieces, alongside the rich green leaves, speaks to a narrative of the life cycle of fruit—from ripeness to the final enjoyment. This painting invites viewers to appreciate the simple beauty of the fruit's form and the complex interplay of light and texture that Novak achieves with her brush. "The Last" is more than a painting; it's a sensory experience that brings the fragrance and tang of citrus to life in a visually stunning tableau, perfect for the collector who values the rich tradition of still life art. 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.
