Victor Molev creatively realized himself as a painter, graphic artist, stage designer and decorator, architect. But his main occupation is still easel painting, to which he devotes so much time and effort.

His painting did not arise spontaneously, it is the result of the accumulated knowledge and experience that underlie his creative activity. Victor Molev's paintings are distinguished by sonority and variegation of colours, whimsical compositions reflecting the originality of plots and images and their non-standard interpretation, plasticity of forms and grotesque.

They are also full of symbols. Viktor Molev has created his own artistic language of symbols, signs, original effects, which makes his work unique and recognizable. A special place is occupied by a series of enigmatic portraits in which the explicit meaning merges with the hidden, attracting attention. His art attracts many admirers and leaves no one indifferent.
