About Me

Hi, I’m Viktorija Starygina – a painter whose world oscillates between the fine tip of a graphite pencil and the expressive strokes of oil on canvas.

  • Portraits from Life & Memories

    I specialize in hand-drawn graphite portraits. Whether it’s a single face or a complex composition combined from separate photographs, my goal is to capture more than just a likeness – I aim for the soul and the character behind the eyes.

  • Plein Air Impressions

    I travel with my easel to catch fleeting moments. These small-format oil paintings are my "travel diaries"—raw, honest, and filled with the light and atmosphere of the places I’ve wandered. Each piece is a unique window into a moment that will never be repeated.

  • Atmospheric Interior Art

    My large-scale paintings are born from deep personal experiences. These works translate real-life memories into moods and textures, designed to bring character and a sense of "story" to modern interiors. Each piece creates a unique focal point for your living space.

  • My background in magazine design

    Having worked as an Art Director for COSMOPOLITAN Lithuania and other leading titles. It taught me the importance of visual rhythm and composition. Today, I use those skills to create art that resonates, whether it’s a delicate pet drawing or a bold, expressive canvas inspired by the energy of the streets and graffiti.
