Valentin Varetsa began his career as a professional artist, having studied at the Kharkov Academy of Fine Art,Ukraine and the St.Petersburg Academy of Fine Art,Russia . The passion for color and attention to intricate detail that earned him his Masters degree is evident in his work.He creates harmonious compositions with superbly balanced colors and shapes.Valentin’s work is a blend of colors, emotions and dreams.With dozens of personal exhibitions in Italy, Belarus, Ukraine, and Australia, Valentin has earned great respect as an artist.
Valentin’s goals as a painter are clear when he says,” My appreciation of the world is always increasing and I enjoy sharing it with others through my artwork. My goal in each painting is to encourage the viewer to feel the emotions, struggles and triumphs of living free.I often work in metaphor and I like the viewer to take from the work what they will"
Also influenced by the surrealists, especially by Rene Magritte, Valentin explores the meaning and relationship between painted and real objects, finding ways to bridge the gap between his reality and that of the real world.
His techniques are based on the great classical school of Baroque and the Pre-Raphaelites. He adheres to the classical principles of unity and integrity of shapes, equality of lighting, closed forms and smooth gradations of colour.
His work has appeared in many exhibitions, galleries and museums worldwide including; The National Fine Art Museum of Ukraine,The National Museum of History & Culture Belarus, National Library of Belarus, National Library of USA, in Washington.
