Valentina Ritorova

I create paintings, expressing my emotions, my world in them. The viewer continues to co-create it, creating their own worlds.

Biography

I paint with oil and acrylic, sometimes using texture paste. I am a psychotherapist by profession, but in my free time I paint.

I like to paint abstracts and landscapes, less - seascapes. I really like bright colors that give strength and energy, cause inspiration and just a good mood. Abstraction gives the opportunity to think broadly on certain topics and to embody ideas in the metaphors of painting, and the colors add their expressiveness.

I like this magic. First, a white canvas, on which there is nothing yet; there is the Great White Emptiness.

And then the first stroke, followed by the next, and the next… And there is no Emptiness anymore, Something is born.

And then the process of filling the painting with life, color, strokes. And in the end – here it is: your Creation.
