Victoria Febrer is one of our keenest members. Most of her works express a certain angle of perspective towards a landscape, the sky or the composition between an object and a panorama of the ocean, the mountains or any matter that creates the floor of the painting. What I really value in her works is the constant development of skills in exploration with colour or different media. Her recent project “Vistas Y Vinografias II” are works created solely with red wine on paper and reflect her great attitude of experimentation with the goal to underpin feelings and emotions that thrive in her, as well as in all of us, when we get in contact with something familiar.

Artition:
How would you describe your work/art/style?

VF: My work is an attempt to recreate those spaces which exist only in memory, which take on characteristics of all the places we’ve seen or visited and become something which is paradoxically both unique and universal. Through a simplification of color and form I attempt to return the viewer to these idyllic spaces.

Artition:
What or who inspires you?

VF: The city and the sea.

artition:
Is there a message you want to communicate with your art?

VF: I am currently more interested in conveying feelings and sensations through my work, rather than explicit messages.

Artition:
How do you like artition and what would you like to be added or changed?

VF: I think artition is a wonderful resource for dialogue among the different participants in the art world. The only change I would suggest would be more fluid categories for medium. The barriers between mediums such as painting, drawing, and printmaking are ever-changing and perhaps a new system for categorizing works is needed.

Artition:
Who would you like to change life with for one day?

VF:
It would be interesting to change with a person visiting New York for the first time, I have never been able to experience my birth place as a newcomer and am curious as to the experience.

Artition:
Who is your favourite artist?

VF:
There are many artists whose work I love to revisit time and again. A few are Goya, Dali, Durer, Hokusai, and Sorolla.
