Valeria Duca is a very strange but interesting young Moldovan artist (1994). Her Instagram is valeria_duca. How can her style be characterized? There are abstractions and surrealism, but perhaps the overall word for all of them is “strange.” At the same time, the strangeness is pleasant.
“If there is anything constant in my work, it is that I always use oil paint, from the very first day. Everything else has always changed. I started with abstraction, had periods of landscapes, still lifes, portraits. I even tried my hand at conceptual art installation. I don’t want to succumb to the pressure of ‘defining my artistic style.’ I hope I continue to evolve, I hope I don’t become predictable and defined by one constant.”
The first painting in this series is called “Friday Evening.”
