Like many current young artists, the Moskou-based artist Valeria Ko uses Instagram as her sole platform. Art is like therapy to her, when she draws she feels happy and that is what her paintings radiate. In her work, Valeria explores the many forms of feminine intimacy. For this she uses a sultry color palette in which the portrayed women enjoy their intimacy without restraint. Whether they are alone or with a male partner, they are always in charge.

Real ‘deed’

Despite the strong sensuality of the imagery, she does not show the real ‘deed’. This has allowed her to bypass Instagram censorship but her popular art has also drawn the attention of some pushy men making explicit requests. In an earlier interview she explains,’…when people (we are talking more about men) see the female artist who draws sexual scenes, they think that you are crazy and very open minded in sex in real life. It’s affected my private life a lot. Also, everyday I receive photos of dicks and sexual content in my DM in Instagram.’

‘Daddy’s girl‘

Voluptuous Impressionism

But otherwise Valeria Ko’s voluptuous impressionist watercolors are highly appreciated among her followers. She made illustrations for several magazines, already participated in several exhibitions and a couple of years ago made a big mural painting for a cafe in the center of Amsterdam. In other words, an artist to keep an eye on.
