This larger piece, complementing its pair titled 'Turkish Sunset,' is part of the artist's ongoing exploration of human body geometry. The warm and deep colors convey a sense of comfort within the world of music. The textured palette adds volume to the composition, subtly resembling goosebumps on the skin—evoking the pleasure derived from the act of listening to music.
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.
