A Moment Of Her Own
Valeriy Gridnev’s original painting A Moment of Her Own (20" x 26") captures an intimate and reflective pause, rendered with remarkable sensitivity and nuance. The ballerina is shown from behind, her back softly lit and sculpted with fluid strokes of pastel. Her hand is gently resting on her head, as if caught in thought or release, while her tutu blooms outward in soft shades of white and pale blue, its airy texture exquisitely suggested by swift, expressive marks.
Gridnev’s characteristic ability to convey atmosphere and interiority is fully present in this quiet composition. Influenced by Van Dyck’s elegance, Sargent’s confident brushwork and Monet’s treatment of light and tone, the artist fuses classical balance with impressionistic spontaneity. There is no need for elaborate detailing; instead, he allows gesture and posture to evoke the ballerina’s grace and solitude.
Throughout his celebrated career, Gridnev has remained a powerful voice in contemporary figurative art. With awards from institutions such as the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and residencies at Highclere Castle and Keeneland, his reputation is firmly established. A Moment of Her Own exemplifies his mastery — a poignant portrait of stillness that invites the viewer into a fleeting yet resonant emotional world.
