Mill Valley Arts Commission presents the first Public Art for the Depot Plaza location!

Oakland-based artist Valentin Popov is best known for his meticulous hyperreal portrait paintings.

The exhibited work, “FROM… TO…” is an image from a 2009 series of paintings, “In The Water,” created in oil on canvas.

The displayed artwork produced in 2022, is an Artist Proof print of the original painting on Dibond, an aluminum composite sheet.

Valentin Popov is well known for his portraits which demonstrate not only his craftsmanship but also his insight into the human psyche.
