Victoria Herrera

Victoria Herrera is an internationally known artist known for her figurative work and her very large botanical pieces where she strives for translucency and the effect that light and shadow play on the subject matter, not so much to contrast in value, but to indicate a need for balance and to describe how forces opposite in nature can complement each other and give rise to harmony and equilibrium. After a near death experience, symbolism and spirituality, more than pure esthetics, have played a very important role in Victoria's compositions. Her is work is often described and sensual, translucent and ethereal.
