Valeria Troubina is the prominent Ukrainian painter born in 1966. Her creative growth arose together with the other artists of “Paris Commune” – the famous Kyiv group in the end of the 80th – beginning of 90th of the XX century, whose achievements are traditionally connected with the world’s post-modern art trend – Italian transavantgarde. In 1990 Troubina became a member of Ukrainian Union of Artists.
Creativity of Valeria Troubina is free of any social or political tendencies and is directed exclusively towards aesthetic categories – such as spirituality in art and beauty as the highest value.
Works of the artist are in The National Arts Museum of Ukraine (Kyiv), The National Museum of Russian Art (Kyiv), as well as in the private collections in Germany, Great Britain, Russia, Sweden, Ukraine and USA.
