Destiny Series by Victoria Velozo

This series of human portrayal emerge from the sitters’ personal feelings or moods: They are
situational snapshots, in which they are captured at certain moments as if unobserved in mundane ordinary tasks to create surreal images that are thematically focused on identity, thoughts, emotions and dreams in the narrative. Victoria’s approach when creating a piece is to capture an emotion within the gesture and expression of the subject. Victoria’s art works are influenced by her observations of peoples' daily interactions, enabling her to create moving and unique figurative art.
Victoria is known for her contemporary style using abstraction & realism. Her portraits explore the depths of inner & outer beauty through evocative emotional introspection, pulling her subjects apart to reveal the simplified layers beneath their surface.
“I create atmospheric fluid cell structures representing life and dreams, they symbolise the complex layers of different scales that constitute life, from the molecules or cells to the complex organic dream evoking the style. I am exploring the tension created by line and fluid, the balance between opposite concepts, like reality and imagination. I aim at keeping
only the essence of the figure through a simplified sketch in charcoal, contrasting with the complexity of the surrounding flow of fluid abstract.”
