The Picasso-inspired portrayal of a woman in this painting extends the exploration of the human body's geometry. The addition of gold paint captures the essence of sunlight flares. Completing the composition are Echinacea Hortum flowers, one of the artist's favorite plants.
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.
