About Victoria’s Creative Process
Victoria's conceptual mixture of realism and fantasy in her painting practice was shaped by the ‘trompe l’oeil’ influence mastered during her many years of mural painting.
Her two primary choices of medium are acrylic and encaustic.
"I paint surrealistic narratives in my artwork by using realistic subject matter in fantastical situations. These narratives are played out in urban or natural landscapes, fairground settings, residential interiors, etc., in other words, anywhere and everywhere I am struck with creative inspiration.
I take great delight in seeing the covertly interjected humour and messages I’ve put into my artworks 'discovered' by the viewer."
She cites René Magritte, Frida Kahlo, Emily Carr, Georgia O'Keeffe, Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Diego Rivera, and several of the French Impressionists as her greatest influences.
