Artist
Victoria McDonnell, a Colombian artist now residing in the rural countryside of Norfolk, UK, began her artistic journey after graduating as a product designer from the University Javeriana in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1990.
At the age of 28, Victoria relocated to the UK, facing the challenge of a language barrier. In response, she turned to the language without words - art. Art became her constant companion that deepened over time.
Victoria offers glimpses of familiarity in her subjects, inviting viewers to engage playfully while allowing ample room for personal exploration. Working across a diverse array of subjects in oils and acrylics, she unifies them through the lens of abstraction.
Victoria’s latest obsession is ‘Chairs,’ a project of exploration, observation, and discovery. Inspired by the simple objects that are central to our daily lives and our personal connections with them, she examines the narratives they embody. Whether it's the chair in the corner that sparks conversation, the kitchen chairs that keep the family united, or the old nursing chair passed through generations, each chair tells a different story.
