Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Viktoria and I'm 19.
I’m deeply interested in astrology (birth charts, not those trashy horoscopes in magazines and newspapers), tarot, the psyche and dreams. I want to bring symbolism and archetypes into my art. But I don’t want to go astray in concepts. For me, art is an intuitive thing. I don’t want my pictures to be just beautiful, they have to affect the viewer and in the best case set strong feelings free. Of course that was not always my intention; I needed some time to realize that. Some years ago I didn’t understand how people can say that they take photos for the purpose to express their feelings, because to me those photos appear very shallow. In my opinion it’s a skill itself to take heart-touching photos.
My extreme perfectionism can be very burdening and blocking. But in the end it won’t put out the flame inside me. I’m very determined and I struggle for my purposes. I could never repress my problems or feelings, I always have to face them. It’s better to suffer than to feel nothing. I’m often looking calm from the outside, but the inside tells another story. I love it to forge out plans and sometimes I need years to realize them. The biggest problem for me is to become known, because I’m not very socially and what is an artist without his audience? My attitude: Nothing is impossible.
