Collection: Revealing Spain

Browse a new series of paintings dedicated to Spain, where the artist began to live after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. 

These artworks show Spanish traditions, people, culture. 

 “When I arrived in Spain, I was stunned by what was happening to us during those days and nights. Although I was already experiencing this war from afar, it was still depriving me of my inner peace. I spent some months without being able to paint. What hurt the most was not being able to perceive the beauty surrounding me here. However, little by little, my eyes were opening once again. Little by little, my desire to feel, to live and to work was coming back. Spain's vitality with its unique colours, warmth and friendliness finally cured my tormented spirit and inspired my personal Renaissance,” Victoria Dael tells. 

The paintings of the Revealing Spain cycle reflect artist’s impulse to discover a terra incognita of a sort, her first steps towards the unknown and her fresh newcomer perspective. Perhaps this is why the protagonists of her paintings are not completely exposed. They are partially covered as something enigmatic and concealed to her. Something still hidden, yet very promising. 

The paintings are made in a unique author's technique with mixed texture, charcoal drawing and acrylic paints.
