Victoria Zelenikina

Memorable images, powerful interaction, symbolism – these are defining features of Victoria Zelenikina’s art.

⠀

Victoria was born in October 1992, Novorossiysk, Russia.

⠀

Victoria is a self-learner, therefore she has no limits or rules in her artworks. She does not admit there is the right or wrong way to create. This is why it’s always difficult to define the genre of her works. She paints the way she feels.

⠀

Victoria made some drawings under the unknown circumstances, therefore it is quite challenging to put them in line with ordinary pieces. There are some paintings made while sleepwalking. When the artist recollects herself on the floor covered with paints and curiously looks over an image on the canvas, does it really matter if this image has skewed horizon?

⠀

Victoria creates her own reality escaping from the real world. She suffers from somnambulism (sleepwalking) which brings many of her story lines. She depicts different images and subjects while fully asleep and being looked after by her husband. These ideas soon thereafter become realized and transform into another work of art. Creating new worlds cures the artist’s soul though letting everything out.

⠀

Victoria’s artworks encourage a deeper view of the pictures, a search for something extraordinary or even spiritual in familiar images. If one succeeds, this will allow going beyond the limits of human understanding.
