Valentina Ritorova
I create paintings, expressing my emotions, my world in them. The viewer continues to co-create it, creating their own worlds.
Biography
Valentina Ritorova is a contemporary abstract artist based in Riga, Latvia, working in oil, acrylics, and mixed media.
Drawing inspiration from the color mastery of Impressionists and Robert Delaunay, the layered meanings of Kandinsky, Pollock and G.Richter, and the luminosity of Alexander Maranov, V.Ritorova creates works that balance contemplative serenity with vibrant energy.
Artist & Psychotherapist | Creating art that resonates with the soulA distinctive feature of V.Ritorova's practice is the creation of multi-perspective paintings — works designed to be displayed in different orientations, allowing viewers to discover new narratives and transform their space. This approach reflects a philosophy where the viewer becomes co-creator, bringing their own interpretations to abstract forms.
V.Ritorova's work has been featured in 27 international exhibitions, with multiple award-winning pieces.
Specializing in textured abstractions and abstract landscapes, Valentina Ritorova explores themes of emotional depth, natural forces, and the interplay of light and color.
