All the paintings of V. M. Waxman imbued with the desire to emphasize the unusual feature of the displayed phenomenon. She's always looking for sharp image plastic and clear expression of the material. Her works are full of emotional emotion. Movements jerky, but accurate and confident. With almost intuitive precision, masterful skill, a light touch she draws the models, admiring the slender flexibility of the student, the color of luxury patchwork fur...

Her works - performances of color, where the color plane and stains, strokes and dots merge into an intricate pattern of turn into joyful action, extravaganza of colors, excitedly overlapping and connecting in harmonious harmonious choir.

Valentina throws on the canvas of a colorful mess, inexplicably turn into a quivering cloud of flowers. The letter textured with raised moulding strokes with its power calls to mind cézanne and van Gogh. Painting from Waxman is in fact deeply sensual. Floral composition "Spring" (1992), "Peonies" (1990) and others - the hymn of life. But at the same time, they are hidden there are notes of drama, as well as one of the most cheerful and debonair styles - Baroque - characterized motifs of death. In the still-life "Peonies" - the newspaper accidentally thrown on the floor, strewn with fallen petals of peonies. Her seeming confusion the crowd of vases, jars and buckets with flowers. Essentially from this mess emerged one of the most festive and solemn still lifes of the artist, full of joyful glee.

Valentina Waxman - a man of inspiration. She can't do something that goes against her explosive, impatient, lightning fast nature. In 2003 V. M. Waxman was awarded an honorary badge "For achievements in culture". The artist's life is devotion to art in theatre Studio, at the easel with brush in hand or in the training workshop. She passes on the baton to those covenants that she received from senior colleagues on the shop floor.
