As a book illustrator, I journey through the written word, giving life to characters and worlds, breathing color and emotion into every stroke of my pen. With each illustration, I invite readers to embark on adventures beyond the confines of the mundane, igniting the fires of imagination that burn eternally.
As a designer, I sculpt visions into reality, blending aesthetics and functionality to craft immersive experiences. My creations resonate with the essence of medieval art and Renaissance, paying homage to the profound craftsmanship of the past while embracing the technological marvels of the present.
A curator of emotions, I embrace the ephemeral whispers of mystical insights, delving into the intangible mysteries that dance between the realms of reality and dreams. My art becomes a vessel for introspection, a mirror reflecting the complexities of the human soul, inviting contemplation and revelation.
In my quest for inspiration, I wander through the kaleidoscope of cultures and landscapes, traversing the globe like a modern-day alchemist in search of visual alchemy. Each journey breathes life into my creations, enriching them with the tapestry of diverse perspectives and boundless wonders.
Art Critics
"Every created image always belongs to a particular initial category, and it will always undergo the caprice of the illusionism of spaces. There is also the habitual recourse to the plant and animal kingdom with magical interferences, reflecting the system adopted by the surrealists (but with a seventeenth-century key). In the works, the fantastical combines with the real, and experience with the imaginary in a technical virtuosity. Victoria draws with scrupulousness, meticulousness, scientific accuracy on a journey without a specific destination, heeding mysterious calls. And she does so with grace, with a tangible, precise charm that gives the works a lovable and musical beauty. There is a great cleanliness in the execution of the works and a care in the use of colors, (well arranged and full of harmony), in the attempt to reach the supernatural. We find in them a finesse, grace, lightness, correctness, and ease of expression, as well as an infinity of details enveloped in true light, which plays between tender nuances and delicate variations of lines. In the sweetness of the chiaroscuro, elegant and richly contented forms are born within an enchantment wrapped in the sweetness of light effects. A wisdom in composition and a fresh imagination are always ready to unfold in these works.
The artist seems to take pleasure in her imagination, which gives such a beautiful form to everything she sees and feels within herself. Also evident in the works is a discord between a bubbling vitality and an intellectual unrest. The figures are put together with an art that recalls that of a magician, who operates in it like an enchantment. Then there is the evident presence of Savinio, De Chirico, Ernst, and Dalí in this world born under the sign of metamorphoses, where ambiguity infiltrates everywhere. In this enigmatic alphabet of time, Victoria exhausts herself with the patience of a medieval miniaturist in giving body to a soul. The artist's personality unites an inexhaustible fantasy with extreme skill, and the compositions built chain the utmost rigor to the whims of fantasy. Even the colors used in the canvases have a dreamlike and evocative meaning, which the observer must know how to interpret. In her transport for the marvelous and the extraordinary, for the most unpredictable metamorphoses, in the anxiety of perfection pushed to virtuosity and preciousness, we find the artist's adherence to the enigmatic climate of the surrealists. Dreams and visions emerge from the depths of an intense psychological life, in a cultured language of high intellectual stature. Without conceding anything to current fashions, the artist is a Carthusian who slowly elaborates her works, creating a living, symbolic, allusive material, in which the logic of the visible is put at the service of the invisible. As J.L. Borges wrote, "I close my eyes and see," and Victoria, in closing her eyes, creates aerial constructions that levitate on the horizon like invisible and fantastical cities, in which matter becomes light itself. The magic of this art lies in transferring moments of anguish linked to the past and the present into sources of beauty. The works appear to us as answers to the many secret questions within the mystery of time."

DIGITAL ART
Through my digital art, I sculpt pixels into symphonies of color and form, unveiling the beauty that resides in the fusion of tradition and innovation. I embrace the fluidity of technology as a tool to expand the horizons of my creativity, crafting works that resonate with both seasoned connoisseurs and novices alike.
I stand as a dreamweaver, a soul connected to the unending spiral of artistic expression, reaching beyond the veil of time to whisper to the hearts of generations yet to come. My legacy is not merely a sum of brushstrokes or lines but an ode to the human spirit, an eternal dance of creativity and passion.
In the ethereal dance of inspiration and artistic pursuit, I find my purpose, an ever-evolving exploration of the boundless potential of the human soul. My art is a testament to the profound connection that unites us all, a symphony that harmonizes the ancient echoes of medieval art and Renaissance with the kaleidoscope of mystical insights and worldly travels.
And so, I stand as a professional artist in the fourth generation, a book illustrator, designer, curator, and digital art creator, a humble conduit of creativity, seeking to illuminate the world with the radiant hues of imagination and the boundless power of artistic expression.
