Victoria Obolensky

Victoria paints from her studio based in Dartmouth, Devon UK.

“My aim with the paintings is not only to encapsulate the essence of water and the natural world…but to inspire others and to bring them a knowing calm.”

Obolensky’s work has entered notable private and corporate collections worldwide, including Prince Albert II of Monaco, fashion icon Ralph Lauren and actress Joely Richardson. Her pieces have also been acquired for display in prominent office collections such as Invesco and Regus.

Since 2020, Obolensky has sold more than 500 original paintings, with recent demand driven by her evocative seascapes and landscapes rendered in both acrylic or oil.

Obolensky began painting full-time during the Covid pandemic while raising her 13-year-old son as a single mother. The shift to full-time artmaking has proven transformative: from studio experimentation to public exhibitions and sustained press attention, her trajectory has been swift. Collectors and critics alike note the emotional clarity and technical confidence in her canvases, qualities that have made each new release highly anticipated and quickly claimed.

Most recently, she was selected to exhibit at the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition, further cementing her standing in the contemporary British art scene.

Coverage in Vanity Fair, Tatler and The Sunday Times has amplified interest in her atmospheric landscape work, which collectors and museums praise for its texture, light and emotional resonance.
