"Shameless Redhead" (2020) Painting by Viktor Sheleg

Viktor Sheleg is a contemporary Latvian artist. His personal viewpoint, which examines the conformist culture of the society he encounters before transforming it into a fascinating artistic aesthetic, serves as the foundation for his creative outlook. His shadowy, suggestive portrayals of women strike an intriguing mix between conformity and freedom in both form and content.
