VICTORIA KOVALENCHIKOVA
Kovalenchikova is inspired by the connection between all humans and in her series “Earth” she explores the planet as a work of art. Using google images to explore the Earth in its entirety, she plays with angles and textures. An earlier series focused on the tightly zoomed in areas of urban cities, and the “Earth” series is the antithesis of this micro exploration.
Victoria Kovalenchikova was born in Mogilev, Belarus in 1978 and in 2002 she received a degree from Belarusian State Academy of Arts. Kovalenchikova states, “Although we humans may feel like disconnected, independent fragments, Earth reminds us that we are all united on this place: notes within a larger symphony of life. No different from the massive whale in the ocean or the tiniest needle of a pine tree. There is no way out; to save ourselves we must save our home”
Her fascination with the cityscape, both its architecture and inhabitants, is evident in most of her works. She frequently attempts to portray the passage of time by recalling seemingly innocuous events, ingrained in our collective memory, unfolding at specific locations. Recently Victoria started to create new EARTH paintings, which are dedicated to our planet and universe. Most importantly, she views her creative process as a means of representing the kaleidoscope of life by piecing together its infinite fragments.
Kovalenchikova's works can be found in private and corporate art collections and museums worldwide from Europe to China, Saudi Arabia, the USA and India.
