Victoria Kovalenchikova, an artist born in Mogilev, Belarus in 1978, draws inspiration from the interconnectedness of all humanity. In 2002 she received a degree from Belarusian State Academy of Arts. Her latest series, "Earth," delves into the planet as a masterpiece. Kovalenchikova masterfully employs google images to capture the planet's entire essence, manipulating angles and textures to create a unique perspective. In contrast to her earlier urban city series that focused on tightly zoomed-in areas, "Earth" offers a macro exploration that uncovers the beauty of our planet.
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.”
Kovalenchikova's preoccupation with the cityscape and its inhabitants is evident throughout her artistic oeuvre. She seeks to capture the fleetingness of time by recalling unremarkable events etched into our collective memory that occurred at specific locales. Recently, Kovalenchikova has expanded her creative vision to include the universe, as seen in her latest paintings, the "EARTH" series. Above all, she views her artistic process as a means of representing the kaleidoscope of life by assembling its infinite fragments into a coherent whole.
Kovalenchikova's works can be found in private and corporate art collections and museums worldwide including Europe, China, Saudi Arabia, the USA and India.
