Victoria Kosheleva
Born 1989
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.
