ARTIST'S WEBSITE

 

To name a few galleries out of Canada, Valeria exhibited her painting, batik and tapestry in Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Arts (Japan), Frankfurt Messe (Germany), Chagall House (Israel), Krimsky Most Gallery (Russia), Monserart Gallery (NY, USA), Los Gatos Museum of Art (CA, USA),

At age 19, Valeria earned her first professional artist’s diploma from the Industrial Arts College; at 26 she got a master’s degree in applied arts from the Moscow State Textile Institute. Since then, Valeria happened to change cities and countries before she settled in Toronto (Canada), but through all the years she was doing what she does the best – turning a plain fabric into the Art.

Some critics find her paintings to have a delicate touch of classical Russian constructivism; Some emphasize a flavour of interesting multi-cultural “symbiosis”; Some point to her expressive freedom of sharing how she feels… Perhaps all this appears fairly true. However, there still seems to be a bit of an intrigue around Valeria’s paintings. One gripping detail could be probably exposed in this context:

When you see more of Valeria’s oils, an odd idea emerges: She does not actually “paint on canvas” – she “paints the canvas.”
