Meer informatie

My name is Aleksandra Vakovska and I am the owner of the Art Project that V.Art By AV is. I am a Leiden University Master's Graduate and a Political Scientist but I come from a background of creativity and art. Part of theatrical clubs, creative writing sessions, and painting groups - art has always been a big part of my life.

V.Art by AV is an art gallery, an art studio, an art supplies shop, and an art café. Think of it as The House of Art in Leiden, where you will become one with the work in front of you because you will be the artist. The project of V.Art By AV is complex. Furthermore, it is a precedent as no place like it exists.

"Unleash your inner artist" is the motto V.Art follows, as we believe that everyone has a hidden artist within themselves, all you need is a paintbrush. Whether you want to paint your own creation, buy a painting, grab a cup of coffee, or simply admire the work - Art Café V.Art is the place for you.

Evenementen

Every Saturday evening, after closing hours from 18:30 to 21:00, V.Art By Aleksandra Vakovska organises art classes where everyone can try their best at painting. No previous experience is needed; a person only ever needs their creativity. The classes are done on 30x40 canvases with acrylic paint, as the owner gives instructions to the beginner painters.

Vertegenwoordigde kunstenaars

Art Café/Gallery V.Art By Aleksandra Vakovska represents mainly the work of Valentina Vakovska, a Bulgarian painter and the mother of the place's owner. However, around 10% of the art pieces are from other artists (both Dutch & International) such as Ivan Sabrutov, MasqArt, Frank Alblas, Yali Wang, and others. V.Art By AV has one main goal: to showcase ALL art - paintings, sculptures, drawings, and contemporary pieces. We are trying to not limit ourselves to one type of painting technique, genre, or style.
