My name is Viktoria Filipchenko. I am an artist based in Italy.

I was born in Ukraine in 1978, where I have always shown an interest and passion for painting.

Over time I attended art school in Ukraine; Ukraine the distant land, rich, fertile in natural resources and crossroads in the centuries of contamination of different cultures, which are rooted in the artist, grow to the point of feeling in connection with the creation, with colors, scents, sounds, moments of emotions so strong that painting comes to her daily activity.

I have been drawing since childhood. Since my school years, I have been trusted to design and paint the school newspaper, manifestos, theatrical scenery. Art has become an integral part of my life. I studied at an art school in my city. At that time I was working with such materials as watercolors, tempera, and gouache. After moving to Italy in 2001, I finally fell in love with the beautiful landscapes of this country with its sea, hills, and ancient towns full of history. I started to use more oil in my art. From time to time I took lessons from experienced craftsmen, learning new techniques and experimenting with materials and colors in my works. My favorite technique is realism style oil painting. I like the softness of the oil and at the same time its strong note.
