Artist Victoria Steinberg


This beautiful engaging work is by Manhattan artist Victoria Steinberg.  Victoria presents a captivating perspective of still life, portrait and landscape subjects, through a dedication to the mastery of realism, executed in oil painting. Her work embodies light form and color with skillful strokes suggestive of Dutch masters. Ms. Steinberg carries forward the refined tradition of “chiaroscuro” or direct light.

Years of study at the world renowned Art Students League in New York City with such Twentieth Century masters as Robert Brackman, David Leffel, Gary Fagen, Daniel Greene, Robert Johnson, Peter Cox and Greg Kreutz have empowered her to produce elegant compositions such as the works shown above. These compositions embrace concepts of cast shadows, definitive and lost edges, all transmitted in reflected light and full-bodied colors. You can find her other work at http://www.victoriasteinberg.com/.  The work leaves one thinking, what is her connection to the subject matter? Does she know her subjects?  I am all about realism being a confessed realist! It doesn't get more real than this and I am certain that her work reflects not only what she sees, but an untold story. I am curious!
