Valentina 3D Art

Valentina 3D Art - Valentyna Zashliapina

Welcome to my Art Studio in the heart of the Canadian Prairies.

I am a mixed-media artist with over 12 years of experience in sculpture painting and cold porcelain art. My journey brought me from Ukraine to Russell, Manitoba, Canada, where I am rebuilding my life and my art from scratch.

This site is a visual diary of my new chapter. Here, I create exclusive 3D wall art, combining the fragility of flowers with the strength of natural stones and texture paste.

Where Physics Meets Fine Art

"My work is a meditation on the evolution of the universe—a journey from the cold, silent matter of space to the vibrant triumph of life."

The Vision

Based in the heart of the Canadian prairies in Russell, Manitoba, I create 3D sculptural paintings that bridge the gap between science and soul. My art is a reflection of the cosmic process: on a deep, dark foundation representing the void of the universe, I build "planets" from natural stones, out of which life—in the form of intricate, pearl-leveled roses—emerges in a burst of light and texture.

The Background

With a professional background in solid-state laser physics, I bring a unique scientific perspective to the canvas. My understanding of light interference and material properties allows me to manipulate pearlescent pigments and natural minerals to create pieces that "breathe" and change as you move around them.

The Craft

Every piece is a labor-intensive process of 3D sculpting and gemstone inlay. I specialize in a few main directions:

 * The "Stone Rose" Series: A study of delicate life emerging from raw minerals like Amazonite and Onyx.

 * The "Rising Stars" Series: Cosmic compositions featuring Amazonite, Amethyst, Citrine, Quartz, Hematite, Sodalite and Garnet, capturing the energy of celestial birth.

 * The "Precious Sunflower" is a symbol of Ukraine, inlaid with onyx and citrine, with a fascinating spiral center created by nature in accordance with the number of God.

Canadian Roots, Global Reach

While my inspiration is drawn from the vast horizons and quiet strength of Manitoba, my works are designed for collectors across North America. Each painting is professionally packed and shipped from my studio in Russell, ensuring that a piece of the Canadian spirit reaches your home in perfect condition, whether you are in Toronto, New York, or Los Angeles.

My works are curated and available on international platforms like Saatchi Art, ensuring the highest standards of professional recognition.

A Note on Studio Communication As an independent artist, I personally handcraft every element of my artwork without assistants. Because my process requires deep, uninterrupted focus, I kindly request that all communications be sent via email or direct message rather than phone calls. Many of my techniques—particularly hand-sculpting the delicate cold porcelain elements—are highly time-sensitive. If I am forced to step away from the studio table to answer a call, these fast-drying materials can be irreparably ruined in a matter of minutes. By reaching out in writing, you help me protect the integrity of the art. I review all messages regularly and will give your inquiry my full, undivided attention as soon as my hands are free. For your peace of mind and privacy, all communications are processed through a fully secure, encrypted Google Form.

The VIP Studio Experience:

While I do not take phone calls (I only accept voice messages), to ensure every nuance of your vision is perfectly captured, I ensure you are deeply connected to the creation of your piece. Throughout the bespoke process, I will provide you with exclusive, high-resolution photo and video updates directly from my studio workspace. You will see your personal masterpiece come to life before it is carefully packaged and shipped to your home.
