Viktoriia Kovalenko/ Still Life

Viktoriia Kovalenko is a Ukrainian artist whose work blends impressionism and realism. She was born in 1993 in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and graduated from V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. Viktoriia began her artistic journey in 2014 with Chinese painting, drawn to its elegance and expressive brushwork. Over time, she transitioned to more traditional European painting techniques, expanding her artistic language and deepening her connection with nature. Nature remains her primary source of inspiration, and through her art, she seeks to capture its harmony and fragility, preserving fleeting yet precious moments. She works with various media, including watercolor, oil and acrylic paints, and epoxy resin. Since 2022, she has been actively engaged in botanical illustration, exploring the intricate details of natural forms and textures. Viktoriia has participated in both Ukrainian and international exhibitions, both online and offline. Her works have been exhibited at the Taras Shevchenko National Museum in Kyiv and at exhibitions organized by the Society of Ukrainian Botanical Artists (SUBA). She also held a solo exhibition at the Cherkasy Art Museum.
