Victoria Kovalenchikova

VK Gallery represents contemporary international artists working in different genres and media, including painting, sculpture, photography and digital art.
Victoria Kovalenchikova believes in supporting different cultures across the globe, and VK Gallery is a part of several humanitarian and charity projects. Victoria hopes that her small contribution will have wider impact.
Victoria's paintings demonstrate a strong knowledge of art history. Her fascination with the cityscape - both its architecture and inhabitants - is evident in most of her works. She frequently attempts to portray the passage of time by recalling seemingly innocuous events, ingrained in our collective memory, unfolding at specific locations.

Recently Victoria started to create new EARTH paintings, which are dedicated to our planet and universe. Most importantly, she views her creative process as a means of representing the kaleidoscope of life by piecing together its infinite fragments.

WILLIAM BRAEMER

William’s artwork is the result of an amazing life experience and a personality that hungers for rich, character-defining adventures. William’s artwork can be defined as abstract expressionism; notably flavored with valiant colors, rich strokes and provocative themes. From the Caribbean flavored abstract paintings to the ornately crafted sculptures, William’s artwork appeals to a wide cross-section of collectors. As a young man, William was educated in New York and upon graduation, apprenticed in Europe during the 1980’s. While living in Florence, Italy, he was inspired by the city’s rich artistic history and its’ deep-rooted culture. It was this moment in time of William’s life which inspired him to pursue his passion for art; thus, beginning a life-long journey steeped in a love for self-expression.

Artist Statement
“My intense passion and extreme love of life is the foundation of my creativity. Elation, contentment and ultimate satisfaction are the feelings I experience when reaching the completion of one of my pieces, thus granting me the drive and ambition to begin creating a new body of work. I like to define my artistic style as abstract in nature coupled with an expressionist quality.
My interpretation of a subject matter is
transformed into rich, vibrant bold colors
– timeless, awakening the soul, uplifting and radiant. My use of color evokes many moods; each piece I create is a moment in my life and therefore reflects that period of time – my art is the reflection of my eyes looking into my soul.”

PEDNÒ

PEDNÒ’s paintings look you right in the face. His daring works seethe with personality, featuring sumptuous modeling of flesh, rich flowing hair and riveting eyes. PEDNÒ has an uncanny way of capturing the soul of an individual, behind the often-eccentric outer personas we find complex individuals rendered with a great sensitivity and in striking detail. The models both real and imaginary featured in his paintings peer from behind a fierce gaze or lustful posture yet it seems that PEDNÒ is imploring us to explore below the surface of his figures as well as within our own selves; we are indeed more than the sum of our parts. “We have to find our own place, our own style, take a journey deep into yourself to find what you have to say,” he states. Yet his works remain highly seductive, the startlingly beautiful people are not to be disregarded and his treatment of backgrounds and finishing touches of frenetic brushwork contribute to a voguish aesthetic. His background as a hairdresser has contributed to an acute awareness of beauty and all the glory that it can bring. Working on real people throughout the day has created an unusual and startlingly individualistic art form that is exceedingly magnetic. PEDNÒ markets and sells his work with great success, last year alone selling forty-two pieces. He lives and works in Montreal.

Albert Schmidbauer

Born in 1968 in Schärding /Upper Austria, he lives and works in Vienna, Salzburg, Natternbach and Los Angeles, and is married to Christina. His daughter Nika was born in 2008 and his second daughter Mira in 2011. His son Luis was born in 2013. Autodidact.

The profession of an artist is accordingly not one that can be acquired through academic training and a corresponding degree, but is rather a calling. Comparable to the calling to be the father of three children. You can prepare for this task in seminars and by reading guides, but mastering the task requires responsibility and demands daily commitment and dedication. It is likely no coincidence that Schmidbauer became the "father" of numerous works of art after the birth of his third child.

Since 2012 the autodidact created more than 300 works. These "children" are mostly large-format acrylic paintings on canvas. As a graduate of a secondary school that specialises in artistic education, Prof. Laurenz Hudetz influenced him personally. Schmidbauer's works are indirectly influenced by Hubert Scheibl, one of Austria's best-known artists, and by the world star Gerhard Richter.

Three philosophical themes define his oeuvre: openness, change and hope.
