This is one of my most recent paintings of 2024, experimenting again with Mixed Media and the line between Drawing and Painting.
Victoria Loeb was born in 1980 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She had a bilingual Spanish-German education and studied classical ballet for many years. In 1992 she met Argentine Artist Alicia Maffei, who became her first mentor. In 1996, she started working as her Drawing Assistant and they worked together through 1999. During that time, she was accepted at the Fine Arts Institute Prilidiano Pueyrredon in Buenos Aires, where she studied Drawing, Painting and Sculpture from 1998 through 2002. She also studied under renowned Argentine Artist Miguel Ángel Bengochea and later attended the studio of Contemporary Artist Eduardo Médici.
She moved to Chicago in 2003 and now works out of her Studio at Mana Contemporary in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chigago. She’s shown her Art in several galleries throughout the city, participated in Art venues, and was represented by Jennifer Norback Fine Arts in the River North area of Chicago. Her art is part of private collections throughout the United States, Argentina and Germany.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
“In my paintings I try to focus on what’s suggested, instead of interpreting what is shown, the most evident. Mystery intrigues me and is always present in my work.
I wish to emphasize the experience between the artwork and the observer. As in Literature, one must give in to the game that the work proposes. Look at it not intellectually, but with innocent eyes; since it is not a rational experience, but a sensitive and emotional one”.
