Valeria Troubina is a Ukrainian artist. Born in 1966 in Voroshilovgrad (now Luhansk), her early years were spent in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, an island city on Sakhalin, before her family returned to Voroshilovgrad in 1974, where she began attending art school.

In 1985, she started studying at the Kyiv State Art Institute, where she met Oleksandr Klymenko and Oleh Holosiy. Two years later, in 1987, she began exhibiting her works.

Troubina explored plastic arts, focusing on pictorial forms. The artist was part of the Paris Commune art squat and earned the title of "the muse of the Ukrainian trans-avant-garde". 

Following the tragic death of Oleh Holosiy in 1992, Troubina emigrated, first to Edinburgh, Scotland, and later to Chicago, USA. In 1995, she briefly returned to Kyiv, working there for over a year, before returning to the United States. By 1998, she had settled in California and began experimenting with themes of consciousness and its borderline states, reflected in her art. Between 2003 and 2008, she traveled to Hawaii.

Troubina’s work has been exhibited at prominent venues, including the PinchukArtCentre and Dymchuk Gallery in Kyiv, the Bereznitsky Gallery in Berlin, Infinite Kaos in San Francisco, Bolinas Gallery in Bolinas, and Judi Saslow Gallery in Chicago.
