The girl sits beneath the trees, nearly hidden pot in hand, bathed in dappled sunlight. This artwork captures the essence of mood and emotion. Upon closer inspection, a pink tree reveals itself as a mere reflection on the water's surface. The branches of this reflection seem to emerge from the surface, and the leaves delicately touch the girl's shoulder. In this dreamlike scene over the water, logic gives way to the realm of dreams.
Victoria was born in 1958 in Kharkiv, Ukraine, which was part of the USSR at the time. She was a representative of the 'Ukrainian New Wave' art movement, which emerged as a response by Soviet youth to years of artistic repression in the Soviet Union and as a consequence of the liberalization of Soviet society. The artist drew inspiration from classical avant-garde, Western modernism, and post-modernism. Victoria Trunova passed away at her home/studio in Kharkiv, Ukraine, on July 7, 2023.
