"The moment of transformation — where color, paint, and texture become the enchanting, nuanced atmosphere of the painting — unites all the genres, motifs, and imagery
in Valeria Privalikhina's art. Her work is always imbued with a sense of symbolism, revealed not through multilayered attributes or "speaking" details, but through
the masterful organization of the painting's plastic structure.

Her landscapes and still lifes are filled with warm sunlight and translucent air. In her canvases, nature and everyday objects are immersed in an atmosphere of profound silence. Her flowers and fruits captivate with a freedom of painterly style, where a soft, picturesque brushwork brings to life a quivering light and summer warmth.

Although individual works by Valeria Privalikhina can be perceived as an homage
to the masters of French and Russian Impressionism, the artist always finds her own distinct and recognizable tone. A refined decorativeness is organically combined
with a deep understanding of nature's palette, which ceaselessly gifts us harmony
and happiness."
