Victoria was born in Russia, Volgograd. She finished Volgograd Architectural Building University in 1983 and continued her education in Leningrad High Art Industrial College named after Muhina. She has been The member of Union of artist of Russia since 1998 and also the member of International Association of Arts – AIAP Unesco. Victoria is the constant participant of city’s, regional and international exhibitions; the participant of United Art Rating.

I often ask myself the same question: what attracts different viewers to Victoria’s works? Yes, they make an impression, stay in memory, and you want to come back to them again and again. There are no usual themes and images in the pictures, there is only a hint.

Landscapes or still-life’s are very sketchy, portraits also look relatively and picture-sque, for example, the silhouette of  lonely brittle beauty or angels’-like essences. By the way, the angels’ theme, which appeared in her works several years ago, is loved by Victoria even now and it’s not occasionally that there’s on illusory angel on one of four big pictures, which walls of Victoria’s flat are decorated with. Though every new personage is not separate from the colour scale, which makes the mood of the work. It gives the birth to a viewer’s very special, unique thought, association. It seemes that the essence of Aksenova’s works is the element of painting itself. The base of Victoria’s usual palette is light, clear paints, which show the colourful richness of the world around us. Sometimes Victoria watches the forms, makes frag-ments of her images, transforms them in a freak way like she sees them through  a microscope or a camera. Creative people can say that Victoria’s works are like the illustrations to some unwritten fantastic novel or the decorations for a fantasy play.
