About me

I am Victoria, a Mixed Media Digital Artist and Graphic Designer originally from of Jujuy, Argentina.,

Now based in Mallorca Spain

My artistry is a fusion of physical and digital painting, which allows me to explore a myriad of creative possibilities.

Having lived in four different countries, my experiences from around the world have significantly influenced my artistic journey. My artistic focus is primarily centered around architecture, landscaping, and woman’s mixed and the captivating Japanese anime style. These genres inspire my work, enabling me to craft intricate and visually striking pieces that capture the essence of both the built environment and the fantastical worlds of anime.

"If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint" Edward Hopper

"In the intricate tapestry of my art, the threads of patience and perseverance are meticulously woven. Each piece reflects a profound dedication to detail, and together, they form an exquisite dance of organized chaos.

My creations are not merely artworks; they are the essence of my spirit—an amalgamation of complexity and order that gives life to a unique narrative.

I hold close to heart a quote that resonates with my very soul: 'If I could say it with words, there wouldn't be a reason to paint.' This profound statement encapsulates my unwavering belief in the transformative power of visual art. It possesses the extraordinary ability to convey emotions and stories that words alone cannot fathom.

At the core of my artistic passion lies the art of storytelling. I firmly believe that art possesses an inherent ability to reach deep within, touching hearts and igniting positive change.

Through my creations, I strive to impart impactful narratives that resonate with viewers, evoking emotions and inspiring transformation.

My work carries a resounding message—one of empowerment for women and a staunch advocacy for the rights of animals.

It is a reflection of my unwavering commitment to these significant causes, lending a voice to those often unheard.

Art is my chosen medium, the vessel through which I express my innermost thoughts and emotions. It is through this unique blend of digital and traditional art forms that I aspire to leave an indelible mark on the world. I wholeheartedly invite you to explore my portfolio and embark on this creative journey with me, where art becomes a powerful catalyst for change and an unending source of inspiration."

In my exploration of detailed skylines and architectural landscapes, I hold a deep reverence for the creative process, a journey that transcends the mere depiction of a place or a cityscape. It is not solely about the city itself; rather, it is an ode to the patient and perseverant act of crafting these intricately detailed works—a process that brings me profound peace.

Paris Fact/ patience

Patience is power.

Patience is not an absence of

action;

rather it is "timing" it waits.

"This piece mirrors the constant practice in my life and art—embracing details, navigating complications, confronting thoughts and fears day by day, all with a deliberate, steady pace and unwavering perseverance.

These elements are ingrained in my soul, and this time, the enchantment of Paris, 'Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité,' serves as the wellspring of inspiration for the animated piece that will evolve from this intricate drawing.

Patience, the guiding force behind this creation, is not an absence of action but rather the art of timing, the skillful waiting for the right moment to unfold.

I'm honored to share that this piece has been selected for NFT Paris 2023.

This is handcrafted ink drawing, accompanied by documented videos that offer a glimpse into the creative process."

Creating miniature landscapes using ink markers and Chinese ink is a meticulous and captivating artistic endeavor. These artworks, executed on watercolor paper, showcase a high level of detail, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in miniature worlds that blur the line between reality and imagination.

Technique:

My artistic process begins with the selection of a specific place or landscape as my source of inspiration. Whether drawn from real-life locations or entirely conjured from my imagination, each landscape is meticulously envisioned and planned.

I wield a combination of ink markers and traditional Chinese ink to bring these landscapes to life. The choice of ink markers allows for precision and control, enabling me to render even the most intricate details with finesse. Chinese ink, on the other hand, adds depth and complexity to the compositions, infusing them with a sense of timelessness and tradition.

The use of watercolor paper as my canvas is deliberate, as it provides a sturdy yet absorbent surface that enhances the fluidity of the inks while allowing for intricate line work and shading.

Black and White Miniatures:

In my earlier works, I have predominantly explored the realms of black and white. This monochromatic approach accentuates the interplay of light and shadow, lending an air of mystery and elegance to the landscapes. The absence of color encourages viewers to focus on the minute details, textures, and forms, thereby immersing themselves in the essence of each scene.

EYES NEVER LIE

Isn't magical , that was was written with light

can only be revealed in the darkness?

"EYES never lie"

is a collection that unveils the soul, revealing the

truth that cannot be hidden."

It's not in the stars to hold our destiny

but ourselves'

Materials:

In my artistic journey, I've embraced an unconventional blend of materials that have become my signature style, creating a surface that almost appears like glass. Here's what goes into my artistry:

Acrylic Surface with Glass-Like Clarity: My canvas of choice is acrylic, specially treated to capture the essence of glass. This foundation provides an unmatched level of clarity and transparency, which forms the backbone of my creative process.

Acrylic Print Base: My vision begins with an acrylic print base, meticulously crafted to convey the initial image. This printed layer serves as the canvas upon which my artistic narrative begins, offering a solid starting point.

Acrylic Paints: I'm passionate about using high-quality acrylic paints, cherished for their vibrancy and versatility. These paints become my medium of expression, applied with precision to the acrylic print base. This union allows me to juxtapose rich, opaque colors against the printed image, resulting in dynamic compositions that play with the viewer's perception.

Mixed Media Elements: To add an extra layer of dimension and texture to select pieces within my collection, I incorporate a range of mixed media elements. These can be anything from fabric to paper or found objects, all seamlessly integrated into the composition to further heighten the interplay between transparency and depth.

Resin Coating: For a few select pieces, I finish the artwork with a glossy resin coating. This not only enhances the illusion of a glass-like surface but also provides a protective and lustrous layer, ensuring longevity and visual allure.

Polish Nail (Nail Polish): The intricate details and patterns in my art are brought to life through the meticulous application of nail polish. These 3D aspects are created through layers of nail polish, adding a tactile and visually engaging dimension to my work.

Acrylic Spray Paint: To introduce bursts of color, subtle gradients, and atmospheric effects, I utilize acrylic spray paint. The controlled application of spray paint adds depth and atmosphere to my compositions, enhancing the overall visual experience.

Brushes and Palette Knives: My toolkit includes a variety of brushes and palette knives. These tools enable me to achieve precision in detailing, texture creation, and layering, all of which contribute to the complexity and intrigue of my artwork.

Technique and Process:

My creative process involves a meticulous layering of acrylic paints, nail polish, and spray paint on the acrylic print base. This layering creates a rich tapestry of textures and effects. For those pieces finished with resin, this is a delicate and precise step that adds a touch of brilliance to the artwork.

Presentation:

I pay careful attention to the presentation of my artworks to maximize their glass-like qualities. They are often framed with minimalistic, unobtrusive frames that allow viewers to fully appreciate the illusion of transparency. The right lighting and positioning are thoughtfully considered to enhance the interplay of light and color within each piece.

In conclusion, this collection is a testament to my passion for transforming acrylic surfaces into mesmerizing works of art that resemble glass. My unique blend of materials and techniques captivates viewers with its luminosity, depth, and intricate 3D details. I invite you to explore the boundaries between reality and illusion in each of my creations, offering a truly unique and captivating artistic experience.

Metallic Fusion: Acrylics, Aluminum,

Introduction

Welcome to "Metallic Fusion," where art converges with industrial materials to form a truly distinctive visual experience. In this collection, I've pushed the boundaries of creativity by using aluminum as a canvas, complemented by a fusion of acrylic spray paint and the meticulous application of nail polish. Each piece in this collection invites you on a journey through a world of texture, reflection, and color.

Materials

The heart of "Metallic Fusion" beats with the industrial elegance of aluminum sheets as the canvas. Their sleek, reflective surfaces form the backdrop for my artistic expression. I wield acrylic spray paint to infuse bold and vibrant colors into each piece, and nail polish becomes my secret weapon, adding a remarkable layer of sheen, depth, and intricate detailing.

Technique and Process

Creating these artworks is a meticulous dance of layers and textures. I start with the aluminum sheet, applying acrylic spray paint to conjure a symphony of colors and textures that come to life. Then, the magic of nail polish takes center stage, introducing intricate patterns, delicate details, and a captivating interplay of light and shadow. The glossiness of nail polish is my surprise element, creating a delightful contrast against the matte backdrop of acrylics.

Themes and Inspiration

Within "Metallic Fusion," you'll discover an array of themes, each carrying its own unique narrative. From abstract compositions that evoke deep emotions to contemporary portraiture that challenges conventional perspectives, my inspiration draws from the dynamism of modern life, the fusion of materials, and the interplay between the natural and the urban.

Color Palette

The color palette of "Metallic Fusion" is a tapestry of emotions. It spans the spectrum from bold metallic hues that exude confidence to delicate iridescent tones that whisper sophistication. Acrylic spray paint allows me to explore color dynamically, while nail polish introduces unexpected bursts of brilliance and intrigue.

Presentation

Each piece is meticulously presented to showcase its reflective qualities. I often leave portions of the aluminum surface exposed, inviting viewers to engage with its industrial beauty. My choice of frames is minimalistic, allowing the artwork to take center stage without distraction.

Conclusion

"Metallic Fusion" challenges the conventions of artistic mediums, inviting viewers to reimagine the potential of materials. It sparks contemplation and dialogue about the marriage of industrial aesthetics and artistic expression. This collection is a testament to my creativity and innovation, offering a unique and captivating experience for art enthusiasts and collectors alike. Welcome to the world of "Metallic Fusion," where art and materials intertwine to redefine the boundaries of visual exploration.

My art journey began with a brush and a dream, and it has since led me on a captivating adventure around the world. Painting murals opened the doors to a life of artistic exploration, allowing me to share my unique perspective in different corners of the globe. Through my vibrant murals, I express myself in various dimensions, weaving together cultures, emotions, and landscapes into a tapestry of inspiration

My artistic journey commenced on the bustling streets of Argentina, serving as the springboard for a remarkable expedition that traversed continents. From the electric cityscapes of Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco to the sun-drenched avenues of Miami, nestled near the iconic Wynwood Walls, my creative spirit has resonated across diverse settings.

Spanning the globe, I've ventured to Spain and Reed Woods, each location infusing my art with a distinctive essence, enabling me to express myself in myriad dimensions. Join me on this transformative voyage, where every mural tells a unique story, and every wall becomes a canvas for boundless creativity.

Amid the isolation of quarantine, I found myself grappling with an unexpected opportunity for growth. As the world retreated behind screens, I yearned to create art that transcended the digital divide, to convey not just imagery but also texture and emotion in this pixelated realm. And so, I ventured into the world of animation, discovering a medium that would redefine my artistic journey.

With every stroke of the digital pen, I breathed life into my creations. I transformed physical artworks into vibrant, animated expressions. These animated pieces opened the door to the NFT market, a realm where art is not merely observed but experienced, and where authenticity is preserved through blockchain technology.

The world of NFTs became my canvas, and I painted my story with every token minted. It was then that a remarkable opportunity presented itself. I partnered with the esteemed Saphira and Ventura Gallery to curate and present a digital art collection in the NFT market. This endeavor transcended geographical boundaries, allowing my art to be appreciated and collected by enthusiasts from Dubai to New York, Miami to Egypt, Lisbon to Portofino.

The journey took an unexpected turn when I received a nomination to participate in the most significant event in the global NFT community. It was an honor to exhibit and sell my art in renowned venues around the world, sharing my vision with art lovers and collectors from diverse cultures.

As I traversed continents, my experiences converged into a newfound passion for teaching and sharing knowledge. I decided to document my journey and expertise, culminating in my first book—a comprehensive guide to help fellow artists digitalize and register their artworks as NFTs. Today, that book is published on Amazon, providing a roadmap for artists seeking to navigate the digital frontier.

My art, once confined to canvases and galleries, now dances across screens, resonating with a worldwide audience. Quarantine may have isolated us physically, but it was through this isolation that I discovered a boundless, borderless world for creativity, connection, and collaboration.

unpluged awearness

collected by SMinnam

Unplugged Awareness" is a work that explores how we often live in a state of synesthesia, becoming disconnected from reality by the routines and habits that we fall victim to, and instead connecting with an alternative reality.

But what is reality? And what are we disconnecting from? Perhaps we should be searching for what we need within ourselves, rather than outside of us.

We strive for success and prioritize material possessions, but we must disconnect in order to see that we are merely enslaved by things, and in doing so, we avoid meaningful human connections and the sincere and honest bonds that we can create, such as the unconditional love of a dog or cat. What have we become?
