Realist painter Victoria Novak began her artistic career as an interior designer in her native Russia. For many years she enjoyed a successful career in her home city. A move to Italy, where her love of Italian Renaissance art was fostered, inspired Victoria to devote herself to painting. She began to experiment with Old Master painting techniques, but applying them within a more contemporary context. Of adopting the time honoured techniques, Victoria says “At first it was more out of curiosity, but in the end I discovered a method that helps me to realise my ideas in the most satisfied way.” She currently lives in Rome, where she continues to develop as an artist while also working for an international architecture and design studio.
