" Violetta paints in impressionist style. Her canvases are filled with magnificent light and atmospheric effects. Like Monet she changes canvases as the light changes. In the spirit of the true impressionist, Violetta has captured that fast moment of light when the sun brilliantly illuminates the setting..."
