Constrained by health challenges, Victoria found herself confined indoors during the colder months. Her eager anticipation for spring is beautifully depicted in this artwork. As the season finally arrives, a scene unfolds—nature awakening from its winter slumber, sprouting forth from the dark grounds. This piece is profoundly personal, a canvas imbued with the artist's deep emotions.
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.
