Nina Valetova is an internationally acclaimed award winning artist, based in
New York.
After graduating with a master's
degree in art and art history, she began her freelancing career by creating
artworks on paper and oil paintings.
Nina's work seamlessly weaves together ancient cultures, mythologies, fantasy,
metaphysics, and philosophy. The theme of science is also presented in artworks, like
a homotopy and mobius strip.
Her
paintings and drawings cannot be classified within a particular framework of
definitions or styles. In general, Nina’s art defies categorization, and each
piece is often created in several styles. Nina is constantly searching for new
ways to create art, and as a result, she has established the Synthesis Art
Style
Her unique style, Synthesis Art,
combines suprematism, surrealism, cubism, abstract, and figurative arts,
pushing boundaries in contemporary art.
This artwork exhibits a surrealist and abstract style, blending organic forms with dream-like, fantastical imagery. The vibrant, swirling patterns and bold colors contribute to a dynamic composition, suggesting a world of imagination or inner reflection. The figures—such as the bird, human, and swirling shapes—seem to flow into one another, reinforcing the surreal quality.
Surrealism and abstract expressionism seem to influence this piece, with a possible touch of symbolism as well, as the bird, human, and other elements may represent deeper concepts. The use of colored pencils adds a textured, soft quality to the shapes and forms.
Based on the signature visible in the image, the artist is Nina Valetova. She appears to combine abstract and symbolic forms to create a visually intricate and expressive narrative, as seen in this artwork titled "Conversation with Birds" from 2023.
This colored pencil artwork blends surrealism, abstraction, and symbolism. The intricate, multi-colored patterns and flowing lines create a visual labyrinth that invites interpretation and reflection. The piece features several distinct elements: a man riding an insect holding a large mushroom, mysterious staircases, and arched structures that seem to open into other dimensions or worlds. These surreal details evoke a sense of dream-like wonder, as if we are witnessing a strange journey through the mind.
The composition is layered with curved shapes and vibrant colors that give it an almost psychedelic feel. The shifting and overlapping forms, combined with elements such as faces in the tree branches and architectural shapes, suggest the artist is exploring themes of nature, the passage of time, and the blending of reality and imagination.
As with the previous artwork, this piece bears the signature of Nina Valetova, further reinforcing her style that marries abstract symbolism with surrealist narrative. The inclusion of mythical or fantastical creatures and settings, paired with complex color interplay, creates a captivating and enigmatic scene, reflecting the artist's unique vision.
