Victoria BOND

Victoria Bond, Franco-Italian, is a visionary artist whose imagination is nourished, in an evolutionary process, by the rhythm of encounters, emotions and life. As a child, she was open to the arts: music, painting and photography. She studied psychology and music therapy. Her work, inspired by Primitive Art, also bears the marks of multiculturalism from her many travels; imbued with symbolism, it embraces colors, scents and rhythms from elsewhere. She explores and liberates colors in her various series. She also paints women, giving them a sacred status. Since 2011, she has been practicing performance art on various stages with her character Urane. Although independent by nature, she is a member of several artists' groups. It was in 2013 that she decided to share her experience and knowledge in the Arts, through coaching artists and teaching in various public and private establishments. In her life, which is multi-faceted, she has been experimenting for decades in the fields of the possible. As a social activist, she leads a series of civic actions in favor of the environment and the fight against waste, invests in humanitarian actions on behalf of hospitals and organizations, and supports the creativity of young people in difficulty. It was also during this period that she made a name for herself in the field of cultural mediation, with her innovative concept of interactive participatory art, notably in Quebec and Ontario. Her giant participative-interactive canvases capture the emotions of the people she meets in their living environment, bringing together their ideals. Over the years, she has won numerous awards for her innovative projects. From 1980 to 2000, successively assistant at Galerie Transform, press officer and journalist, she founded the magazine Paris-Fascination, becoming its editor-in-chief. Still dreaming of Canada, she flew to Quebec in 2008. Now a Canadian, she is building her professional and artistic life in her host country.
