Valentina Razenkova was born in Kaliningrad. She lived in Petrozavodsk and learned the art of silk ribbon embroidery. She crafted beautiful landscapes, bouquets and flowers with silk ribbon. Valentina graduated from the Bobruisk art school and started making flowers using silk ribbons. She explored the beauty of silk ribbon by making amazing designs and patterns.
It is a tough job to decide the right satin ribbon for a particular piece of work. This material is a stunning stuff that gives a unique effect to flowers. According to Valentina, it is a creative process that demands creativity. She don’t use any type of tapestries or prints as it is a hindrance to imaginative work. She begins her work with a basic sketch. Then it is applied to the cloth, tape, thread and batik (dry). She has conducted several exhibitions in her location. Her works are always an inspiration for silk ribbon embroidery lovers.
