No detail is too small as she explores new visual metaphors, adding value to the projects she works on. Victoria is inspired by great artists like da Vinci, Vermeer and Klimt. She loves painting en plien air in the cherry orchard near her home.\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3>Approach\u003C\u002Fh3>\r\nWhen Victoria receives a brief she dives into the story and surrounds herself with relevant illustrations, postcards, photos, shells, flowers and more to set the perfect tone. She works with watercolour, gouache and acrylic – fluid media that allow for great spontaneity.\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3>Styles\u003C\u002Fh3>\r\nCombining the avant-garde with the traditional, Victoria varies her style depending on the content of the book she’s working on. For a classic or historical narrative she may lean towards a gothic or rococo look, or she might use Pop Art or collage techniques to generate something more contemporary.\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3>Awards\u003C\u002Fh3>\r\n1998 – The Golden Ostap – First prize\r\n1999 – Golden Pen of Belgrade – First prize\r\n2003 – Golden Apple, Bratislava – First prize\r\n2017 – Global Illustration Awards, Frankfurt – Gold\r\n2019 – Nami Concours, South Korea – Purple Island Award\r\n2019 – BookILL Fest, Serbia – Special award                                                                                                                    2020 - Nomination for The Hans Christian Andersen Award \r\n2021 - International Competition Image of the Book, Russia - Winner \r\n2021 - American Illustration 40 - Winner","IBBY Hans Christian Andersen nominee & 3× American Illustration winner; folkloric watercolours commissioned by Penguin Random House, Gallimard & Rizzoli.","AU#illus"]
