An embodiment of classic mythology, this artwork features Hebe, the goddess of youth. The composition is charged with dynamic energy, and at its center, a vibrant blue Hellenic-stylized eye captures attention, adding a compelling focal point to the piece.
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.
