01A practice rooted in Chile
Born in Santiago, Chile, Victoria developed an early interest in drawing. Her artistic path later took her through the University of Chile, where she returned to study in 1996 with a focus on painting. Journeys through the Atacama Desert became an important source for her landscapes. By 2003–2004, her imagery had moved toward Chilean valleys, vines and flowers, alongside a renewed exploration of the human figure.
02Sharing the studio
Teaching has accompanied her practice since she began offering drawing and painting classes in her studio in 1998. Her 2024 figure-drawing course at Corporación Cultural Las Condes described an approach based on observation, reflection and conversation, giving students room to explore their own possibilities and develop at their own pace.
03Across borders
Her recent exhibition record connects Santiago with New York, Miami, Dubai, Incheon and Paris. It includes Personal Structures in Venice in 2024 and the BIGGEST small works show in Sausalito in 2025. The European Cultural Centre’s South Trip Gallery catalogue also documents La Tirana, a 2023 work made with acrylic and charcoal.
