« When painting, I try to create a space in which I can move between playful abandon and intense consideration. »
Victoria Cattoni is an award-winning artist based in Australia whose paintings have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Indonesia, Finland, Lithuania, Malaysia, and Singapore. She cites beauty, "however restrained", as being central to her art. In addition, Cattoni's works are a felt response to place. While her compositions do not directly reference the observed world, they are an internalized and synthesized response to her experiences. She creates using oils and watercolors on linen or paper.
