Valerie Vesna is a Belarusian-born artist based in Los Angeles. She picked up a brush at nineteen, while living in Ukraine, and never put it down. Self-taught and free of academic rules, she found a voice entirely her own: intuitive, sensual, and deeply honest.
Her name, Vesna, means "spring" in Russian. It is the season of awakening, and the state she paints from: life in full bloom, raw and alive. Often working to music, Valerie turns sound, emotion, and the human body into abstraction, exploring nakedness not as provocation but as purity of intention.
Her work has travelled from the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow to the auction rooms of Seoul, and now lives in private collections in London, New York, and Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, Valerie works exclusively, creating each painting for one person at a time.
Every piece grows from its owner's story, music, and emotions. It is not just a painting but a member of the family.
Commissions are by request only, and new collectors join a waiting list.
