Victoria Kosheleva

Victoria was born in Moscow, Russia in 1989 and currently lives and works in Paris. Having started her artistic education in 2006 at the Russian Academy of Arts within the Monumental department and having finished it in 2012, she proceeded to study at Parsons the New School of Design, New York, USA between the years of 2012 and 2013. Victoria Kosheleva has had numerous solo exhibitions that have been presented in cities such as Paris, France; Moscow, Russia; Kazan, Russia and Basel, Switzerland.
In her artistic practice, she combines contemporary and classical imagery. In one of her interviews, she described her work as "cyber expressionism." The subconscious plays an important role in Victoria's art practice; in her paintings she strives to create surrealistic worlds consisting of memories and fantasies, images and landscapes that are often taken out of their usual context. She often uses images of phone screens or movie screens and mirrors, all of which act as portals to the theater of the unconscious.
