Pearl droplets of water
In Pearl droplets of water, a girl fuses with the surrounding night in a state of bliss. Her eyes are dotted with stars, while a comet or a waterfall showers her shoulder. Blue and white drops of water gleam like the clusters of stars rendered on the dark background. Larger drops of water mirror the pearl on the girl’s ear. All the while, a light rain forms a diagonal in the upper middle section subtly adding to the overall aliveness of the painting. Star clusters are groups of stars that form at roughly the same time and location and are tied together by gravity for millions of years. There is this sense of interconnectedness in Kosheleva’s work as if there were strong ties or secret friendships between the different elements. The dotted effect also contributes to its fairytaleness, bringing to mind Wassily Kandinsky’s early folk tale paintings such as the Bride, 1903 or Couple Riding, 1906.
Victoria Kosheleva was born in Moscow. Lives and works in Paris.
In her artistic practice, Victoria combines contemporary and classical imagery. In one of her interviews, she described her work as "cyber expressionism." The subconscious plays an important role in Victoria's art practice. In her paintings she strives to create surrealistic worlds consisting of memories and fantasies, images and landscapes that are often taken out of their usual context. She often uses images of phone screens or movie screens and mirrors, all of which act as portals to the theater of the unconscious.
