Artworks by Victoria Alferonok

   The first awareness of myself as an artist came to me at the age of 3 years. I remember then I painted over the flowers on the carpet with lipstick. Large white flowers on someone else's carpet with fuchsia lipstick. A stern reprimand, fortunately, did not cool my creative impulses, because it was clear from the faces of adults that they still liked my art). You just need to be more careful in choosing materials for creativity. Since then my passion for drawing is realized in silk painting, as well as oil painting, graphics.      My main artistic focus is lyrical landscape painting. I turn to modest, secluded places where time seems to stand still. These spaces are filled with light and silence, where my soul has been fortunate to experience bright and joyful emotions. In my paintings, I strive to capture the fragility and transience of this state of barely perceptible happiness and to share it with the viewer as an invitation to contemplation.
   I work primarily in oil painting, using layered glazes combined with textured brushstrokes that allow me to convey the most delicate emotional transitions.
   Alongside painting, I create floral graphic miniatures and work in batik, watercolor, and jewelry art, revealing through different materials the many facets of one theme ̶ the striving for harmony, light, and inner balance.
