This painting reflects the artist's creative process, immersing into the art world. It appears as if the artist is dissolving into their environment and background. Additionally, it is noticeable that the artist's hand in the foreground is more detailed than their face, emphasizing the importance of handiwork, technique, and skill in the creation of art.
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.
