Scary Stories (2019) 绘画 由 Viktoria Ganhao

Abstract artist Viktoria Ganhao was born in Kyiv, Ukraine. She was raised in an artistic family, and her creativity was encouraged from an early age. 

She worked in the Fashion Industry for 17 years and pursued an entrepreneurial career, lived in 7 countries but painting always has been an important part of her life. In 2016 she decided to fully focus on becoming a full-time artist. 

As an avid traveler, Viktoria uses all-new experiences as the greatest source of inspiration for her paintings. Her series of abstract artworks are a collection of memories, feelings and impressions gathered during her travels. Every painting she creates is a way to pay homage to special places she has been to, transforming them into a journey of storytelling and memoir. However, the abstract nature of her art invites the viewer to develop their own interpretation of the work. Each painting has a story to be discovered.

Her painting process is intuitive and begins with a palette of colors and a range of tools, with the intention to make ground and texture. Then she continues with adding several layers, colors, switching from brushes to palette knives, using a wide range of mediums. She's enjoying creative freedom in this way of working, which gives a surprising outcome sometimes. 

She has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions with various art galleries in Europe. She has participated in art fairs and festivals in the UK, France, Denmark, and Portugal. Her artworks have been featured in several art magazines and found a new home in more than 20 countries.

Viktoria recently moved to Portugal, where she lives and works from her studio in Abrantes.
