Quiet life (2010) Painting by Victoria Alferonok

My journey of decorating the world around me began when I was 3 years old. That was when I got my hands on my mom’s red lipstick and carefully repainted the white flowers on the living room carpet in red. A stern reprimand, fortunately, did not dampen my creative impulses, because from the expressions on the adults’ faces, I realized that they actually liked my coloristic discovery ;), I just needed to choose better materials for my art. That’s when my friendship with paints began.

Born in Belarus in 1977. Graduated from the Art and Graphic Department of P.M. Masherov Vitebsk State University (1994-1999, Belarus). In 2021 moved to Poland. 

The main focus of my creative work is painting, particularly lyrical landscapes. The motifs of my paintings are most often modest, secluded corners, free from hustle and bustling activity. These places live their own serene, mysterious life and are where my soul has been fortunate enough to experience bright and happy emotions. Capturing the fragility and fleetingness of a moment, allowing myself—and later the viewer—to immerse in that fleeting sensation of happiness once more, is the state for which I create my works.

In my paintings, I use the technique of oil painting with multilayered thin glazing combined with dense, textured brushstrokes. This technique allows me to fully express all the emotions and feelings evoked by a landscape. I also work in graphics, fabric painting, and jewelry art.

I constantly improve my artistic skills, participate in exhibitions, plein airs, competitions.
