Description of the Artwork “In Process”
One of Victoria's latest works, was created in Kharkiv, Ukraine, during a period of intense shelling in the city. Unable to evacuate, Victoria sought refuge behind her art. She played loud music, her beloved jazz and rock, as she painted throughout the day. Painting became her 'kung fu,' a skill she wielded against the harsh reality, reflected in the character's pose and expression. You may also notice the intentional placement of yellow and blue colors in the top-left corner of the artwork.

Victoria Trunova, Ukraine
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.
