The Victorious Kovalenchikova!
Our friend Victoria Kovalenchikova, a fabulous Russian artist (who also happens to be a very beautiful woman!) is thrilled to have her painting “The Mirror” featured on the May cover of Private Equity International Magazine. Emmanuel Ray first met Victoria at the Russian, Eastern & Oriental Fine Art Fair in London, last year.
