Both sides of the picture

When it comes to talent spotting of all kinds, Hegre.com is the site to watch. Our latest multi-talented girl is Vika.(http://www.hegre.com/models/vika).

She has just launched, on April 13 2011, an exhibition in Russia of her own paintings. She specialises in large canvas portrayals of heroic figures. After studying iconography at Kaliningrad Art Institute she considered a career in Sports Medicine but instead took up modelling with us for a time. This led her back to photography and the art world again.

It all fits together with the wild side she showed to us. Exhibitions come naturally to her. To read the full story, in Russian click here.

This is just the latest occasion we have been ahead of the trend in spotting the next big thing. Do you remember Dasha (http://www.hegre.com/models/dasha) who became such a celebrity in the Ukraine that she went to live with Hugh Hefner in his mansion, became Bunny of the Year and starred in the Playboy TV series "The Girl next Door"?

And Miss Venezuela finalist Jennipher (http://www.hegre.com/models/jennipher) who regularly features on FTV as well as appearing in several TV series in Italy.

And the stand-out Luba (http://www.hegre.com/models/luba) voted "The Perfect Woman" by British Mens' Health (http://www.hegre.com/news/luba-in-mens-health)

Congratulations to every one of them.
