STORMY SEAS Painting

Born: Bath, England, 1970 Victoria grew up and went to school in Bath, a city that she still visits often and loves dearly. After completing a degree in Biotechnology BSc (Honours), Victoria started working with international Clinical Trials, which allowed her to travel extensively. It was after her move to Sweden that Victoria decided to change her career totally and attended a Swedish Art school for 2 years. Victoria´s artwork is greatly inspired by the Swedish landscape and her travels. Every day she walks her dogs and is constantly inspired by the different landscapes, captivating light and seasonal changes. Victoria chooses to paint mainly with Oils, due to their exceptional qualities, textures and colours. She paints thin layer upon layer and pours colour onto the canvas and then occasionally, scrapes and rubs the paint using different techniques to acquire different textures. Victoria aims to instil a feeling of stillness and atmosphere in her artwork. Never knowing how the final image will look like until it gradually appears.
