Viktoriia Kolesnykova
Artist from Ukraine
A member of the Association of Botanical Artists (ABA, UK), the Society of Ukrainian Botanical Artists (SUBA), and the American Society of Botanical Artists (ASBA), Viktoriia actively participates in local and international exhibitions. In her work, the artist explores the delicate boundary between life and death, beauty and destruction, hope and despair. For her, plants are more than just part of nature—they are symbols of resilience, the ability to thrive despite chaos and fear, to adapt, and to find their place under the sun. Viktoriia draws deep parallels between the plant world and human psychology: the adaptability of plants echoes the neuroplasticity of the brain, while their ability to regenerate after trauma embodies the interplay of strength and vulnerability. At times, her works are contemplative and meditative—an exploration of nature’s forms, colors, and rhythms. At other times, they are symbolic, reflecting the paradoxes of the modern world: simultaneous blooming and destruction, light and shadow, fragility and strength. Yet, they all share a common essence—a reverence for the moment, for life, and for the ability of both nature and humanity to bloom against all odds. Primary mediums: painting, drawing, digital art. Materials: Watercolour, oil, pencil, digital media.

A graceful twig of Gunn's eucalyptus. Original watercolour Painting
29.7 x 41.9 cm • Watercolour, Watercolor on paper
Location:
Kremenchuk, Ukraine
This beautiful twig, which looks delicate and fragile, is not so defenseless 💚 Eucalyptus Gunnii is frost-resistant and can withstand up to 14 degrees below zero. For some reason, I thought that this does not happen in Australia 😜. It is also one of the fastest growing plants in the world. And it smells amazing, because it contains a lot of essential oil 🤩 I enjoyed its smell throughout the work. This beautiful twig will refresh your home and you will even hear its strong, clean aroma
