In 2008, Violetta and her family leapt faith and migrated to Australia, where she met like-minded people. Back then, she was already a mother of three, but this did not stop her from fulfilling her lifelong dream. She decided to become a full-time artist, with silk painting and watercolour as her primary mediums.
Aside from being featured in popular exhibits and art shows, her paintings are in Australia, America, England, Germany, Luxembourg, Canada, Japan and Italia’s private collections.

ARTIST’S COMMENT
“Watercolour has interested me since childhood. Through watercolour paintings, I saw a completely new side of the beauty in the world around me, plunged into the atmosphere of aesthetics, which I have since tried to convey in my works and express what I feel. In addition to watercolour, I had a chance to work in other mediums: oil, acrylic and pastel. However, that unpredictability and mysteriousness of watercolour allow showing something that you can never express in oil.”
