Victoria Kovalenchikova

Victoria
Kovalenchikova was born in Mogilev, Belarus in 1978 and in 2002 she received a
degree from Belarusian State Academy of Arts. 

Kovalenchikova is inspired by the
connection between all humans, and in her series, “Earth," she explores the
planet as a work of art.  Using google
images to explore the Earth in its entirety, she plays with angles and
textures.  An earlier series focused on
the tightly zoomed in areas of urban cities, and the “Earth" series is the
antithesis of this micro exploration.

Kovalenchikova states, “Although we
humans may feel like disconnected, independent fragments, Earth reminds us that
we are all united on this place: notes within a larger symphony of life. No
different from the massive whale in the ocean or the tiniest needle of a pine
tree. There is no way out; to save ourselves we must save our home"
