Her works are presented in museums and private collections in Russia and other countries. Valentina creates her paintings as a clairvoyant artist-guide in the technique of intuitive drawing. She transfers mystical images from her subconscious to paper, connecting the spaces of the present and the future in an endless point “here and now”. Valentina creates unique, completely authentic, drawings and paintings in which feelings, emotions, events of different times and realities are intertwined. She gets her inspiration from the beauty of life, from the originality and uniqueness of every day, from the endless variations of the intertwining energies of the universe. Transferring the energy images of the subconscious into the material density of our reality, Valentina considers and calls her works nothing more than “an energy photograph of the day, through which you can connect with any day of the past or future.”

WAYNE ALEXANDER SMITH My paintings are symbolic transformations of my feelings, emotions, deep passion and inner strength to evolve through my journey on canvas. This journey incorporates geometric shapes and complimentary colors all working in harmony with each other; sometimes taking on three-dimensional form. I get my inspiration from my Buddhist practice, knowing my past life situations and circumstances, understanding where I’m going with the endless determination to inspire and believing that nothing is impossible.
