Victoria Valyuk, an artist from Minsk, the author of the one–of-a-kind art tour show project "Artifact", said that her next painting is hidden in Turkmenistan, in the city of Turkmenabad, the Minsk-News agency reports.

The miniature painting "lost" in the Lebap region of Turkmenistan is called "Spring". This is an abstraction painted in oil in shades of green and blue flowers, symbolizing a new life. The canvas was photographed against the background of a local landmark, and after it was left on the central alley near the Musical Drama Theater named after Seyitnazar Seydi. Whoever finds the artifact can keep it for himself — this is an invariable rule of the project.

Belarusian artist Victoria Valyuk launched an unusual art show two years ago in the Caribbean. Today, the "Artifact" is held all over the world and has "reached" Turkmenistan. The author's small works spread around the world, carrying a noble mission — to draw people's attention to art, as well as to revive the spirit of adventure and play. Miniatures in the form of scrolls are left in bottles on land in the most unexpected places or sent on a free voyage across the seas.

It's easy to find out an exhibit from this show: the name of the painting, number and date are indicated on the back of the artifact, you can check the place and image of the find on the Internet, and also write a letter to the artist herself - a note from the author of the painting is put into the bottle together with the artifact.

In the Artefact art tour show, each of Victoria's paintings acquires the status of an artifact and a personal number. They are hidden in different parts of the world. For more than two years (the project started on February 24, 2021), collectible copies of the art project were hidden on the islands of Saint Martin, Trinidad, Barbados, launched to swim in the Caribbean and Black Sea, left in Dubai, Vilnius, Warsaw, Kaliningrad, Moscow, Riga, Albena, Tartu, Tashkent, Kobuleti and Belarusian the cities of Slonim, Volkovysk, the agro-town of Dobromysli. Turkmenistan has become the next, but not the last place in this unusual show that popularizes art.

Victoria Valyuk is a young artist from Belarus. Lives and works in Minsk. He is engaged in painting, studies art, experiments and works mainly with oil. She took part in more than 70 international exhibitions — solo and group, which took place in different countries of the world.
