Victoria ArtHouse

Artist Statement

I work using the batik technique. This type of creativity produces incredible results and requires a lot of patience. I realized that when I paint silk, I like every little detail of the work: how the tube of reserve passes over the small irregularities of the silk, how the paint is distributed throughout the fabric. I love watching white silk become multicolored. I love to immerse myself in extremely complex work so that everything around me ceases to exist, only silk and paint remain.
Ideas come from everywhere. It happens that I saw a picture, and it gave birth to another picture in me. Or I was drawing a scarf and I liked the intermediate stage. I memorized this step and then reproduced it as the main drawing. And then one day I took a photo of the seashore and after a few days I realized that this was a ready-made design that would look great on fabric. And it worked. You can draw anything on silk, there are no restrictions. I also like to look at the satisfied faces of my clients and customers, giving them positive emotions and joy.
I created my own technique by combining cold batik with silk contouring and priming techniques and watercolor techniques. Thanks to this, my works are unique and inimitable
