Varvara Vitkovska

Biography

I live in Riga (Latvia), a friendly city that is open to everything new. After graduating from the St. Petersburg higher art school, I chose the pastel technique because I wanted to constantly improve my drawing skills. Then I started to paint with acrylics. After many years, I decided to return to the study of academic drawing and the canons of antique sculpture, mythology and the history of Ancient Greece. I am driven by attempts to comprehend the laws of beauty, perfection and harmony, although I know that this process is endless... I'm obsessed with body proportions and when I'm wrong with proportions, it makes me desperate and unhappy. My works are in private collections in Latvia, Russia and Italy.
