About Viktoria...
Viktoria is a documentary photographer from Buffalo, whose work focuses on the social issues of neglect, new development, and dereliction on the urban landscape. Though she spent her youth dabbling in areas of photography and graphic design, it was only after her graduation from college, where she obtained her Bachelors in Psychology and Business Management, that she decided to pursue an intensive study of photography in an artist community called the Aegean Center for Fine Arts on the island of Paros in Greece. Since then, her photographic journeys have led her throughout Europe, Southeast Asia, India, and the continental US. Her work has been shown in various galleries around Buffalo, as well as venues in Europe and California.
“Places have stories. When civic evolution fails its citizens through suburban sprawl and industrial flight, the physical structure of an urban landscape, as well as its people, suffers greatly. Structures left behind serve as crossroads between the past and the present. They are the lingering clues to human existence where life seems absent. They are the fingerprints we leave behind.”
Many of Viktoria’s pieces can be viewed and purchased at 464 Gallery.
