Valeri Larko
Valeri Larko's paintings reflect an ongoing fascination with the landscape, where urban culture and nature collide in the fringes of our cities. It is in these often-overlooked areas that she finds both beauty and pathos, bizarre juxtapositions that reflect how we, as a society have altered and continue to alter the environment.
