Victoria always loved creating. Since she was a little girl she has designed and sewed her own unique clothes. Later on she discovered dancing and participated in quite a few contests and shows back in Moldova.
However drawing was something that she would come back to throughout her life and she always felt the need to deepen her knowledge.
Victoria took the Milan Mastery Program and studied under world renowned artists Elle, John and Dimitra Milan.
Today Victoria is a mixed media artist whose style can be described as "abstract realism".
Deeply inspired by her roots and feminine force, courage and wisdom she explores and rediscovers her heritage combining it with portraits of strong women.
She enjoys painting portraits and the process of transformation from the initial 'monster layer' to the final result. In her creative process she uses acrylics, oil paint and oil pastels for texture. Clean lines and rich, deep dark colours are characteristic of her paintings.
Origins
Born and raised in Moldova, Victoria draws deep inspiration from the rich traditions of her homeland. Her art reflects the textures and colors of Moldova’s cultural heritage, weaving together the stories and memories that have shaped her life. A significant influence in her work is an old handwoven wool carpet from her grandparents' home, that is over a century old. It features two deer in the forest, framed by traditional rose patterns. This treasured piece has hung on the same wall for generations, through the lives of her grandparents, her parents, and her own childhood. The warmth and memories it holds continue to inspire the textures, patterns, and colors in her art, grounding each piece in the beauty of her heritage.
