Victor Timofeev is the 23 year old artist who is quietly producing some of the world’s most beautiful spatial drawings in his New York Studio.
Originally from Latvia, his passion for Skateboarding was put to an abrupt test when he sustained a bad knee injury and this led him into drawing, “I developed plantar fascitiis in the summer of ’03, I was heartbroken, depressed and lonely all at the same time. This condition meant that I wouldn’t be able to skate, run and jump, for an indefinite amount of time, possible my entire remaining life. The plantar fascia tissue covering my unusually high arches was scarred on both legs, meaning that my heels were full of scar tissue and didn’t offer me any padding. Instead of endlessly moping about my pains, I decided to pour my time and creative juices into a healthy new hobby – drawing. It wasn’t hard to think of imagery to draw; in fact, often times it felt as if the images were just flowing out of my veins and all I was doing was providing a blank paper for them find a niche on”. Victor’s work includes music, drawing, paint and installation, remember where you heard the name first.
