Among the first words that she pronounced were: \u003Cem\u003EGioconda\u003C/em\u003E (Leonardo da Vinci), \u003Cem\u003EThe Blind Girl\u003C/em\u003E (John Everett Millais), and \u003Cem\u003EPieta\u003C/em\u003E (Michelangelo Buonarroti). Over the years, Victoria learned more about artists and people from different countries and through this, entered the wonderful world of painting, colour and images. By visually studying masterpieces, Victoria sought to display God\u0027s world, and longed to master the magic of pencil and brushes in realism.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EWhen she was 14, Victoria began serious preparations to enter art school and focused on the method of study that existed at Tsar\u0027s Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg during the 19th century. In this system, the focus was on perfection in drawing, composition and colour. After graduating from secondary school, she entered the Kharkiv State Academy of Arts and Design and studied interior design for a year. Then, Victoria was successfully trained at the College of Art in Simferopol (Crimea, Ukraine). After college, she entered the painting department at Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts where she studied for another year. For the next 17 years under the guidance of her father, Victoria was taught to draw and paint from a program modeled after one that existed at Tsar\u0027s Academy of Fine Arts of St. Petersburg.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EShe practiced and studied the paintings of Russian artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Repin, Viktor Vasnetsov, Abram Arkhipov, Kasatkin, Vasily Polenov, Fechin, and many others). Also, she carefully studied the paintings of Spanish painter Joaquin Sorolla, and the French artist Jules Bastien-Lepage. Victoria\u0027s work is greatly influenced by these masters.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EHer paintings are in collections in the United States, Spain, Germany, Ukraine and Russia. Also, her paintings are on view in the Ukrainian Orthodox churches in different cities in Ukraine.\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGallery Representation:\u003C/strong\u003E \u003Ca href=\u0022http://www.saatchionline.com/victoria_radionova\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003E http://www.saatchionline.com/victoria_radionova\u003C/a\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EEducation\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003E1997-2013 Education at home under the guidance of my father\u003Cbr /\u003E1996-1997 Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts Department of Painting\u003Cbr /\u003E1994-1996 Crimean Republican Higher Institution \u0022N.
