Viktor Sheleg is a self-taught Latvian artist whose love of painting drives a bold and expressive body of work. Using oil, acrylic, pastel, ink, and mixed media, Sheleg explores portraits, nudes, music, figurative forms, landscapes, animals, pop culture, still life, humor, and fantasy. Inspired by culture, emotion, and personal philosophy, Sheleg’s shadowy yet liberated style balances structure and freedom, while music, literature, and thought remain central influences.
