“People were asking for more contemporary art in 2005 and I had to find a new approach, something unique,” Victor Colesnicenco said. It was in a dream that he was inspired to create mixed media and collage cityscapes. He had been doing some traveling to New York, Chicago and other cities so those trips provided the direction for this urban art. The paintings sold right away. He describes it as “an energy boost.” Dealers from the UK started to work with him as well. Sold-out shows followed. “I’ve got a very good imagination,” he said. “Future paintings are in my head.” For this naturally gifted artist who didn’t like the more traditional and conservative approach to art instruction, he says he can now fly like a bird and be free. -Spotlight Magazine, Kathy O’Flynn
