We were lucky to catch up with Victoria Tara recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Victoria thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. If you could go back in time do you wish you had started your creative career sooner or later?

“Do you wish you started your creative career sooner or later?” In a world often fixated on the notion of youth as the crucible of creativity, I find solace in a story that unfolds at its own, deliberate pace and perfect timing.

“Do you wish you started your creative career sooner or later?” A question met with a contemplative smile. I believe in the perfect timing of it all.

The chronicle of my artistic voyage reads like a finely woven tapestry. From the halls of art school to the halls of an interior design university, my footsteps traced a path that seemed destined. Yet, it was the chapters in between, the life experiences that seasoned me, that truly shaped my artistic soul.
It wasn’t until my mid-thirties that I felt ripe and ready, enriched by the years of traveling, work, meditation and life experience. I share a sense of gratitude dancing in my eyes.. It was an era of transformation, a period of emotional and spiritual maturation that provided the fertile ground for my creativity to flourish.

A master’s degree in depth psychology became a catalyst, an intellectual and emotional foundation that forged my artistic identity – it marked a profound juncture in my self-discovery journey..

Yet, the evolution of my artistry transcended the confines of academia. My journeys across the globe painted a vivid palette of experiences, each shade and texture finding its resonance on my canvases. Traveling, immersing myself in diverse cultures, was a revelation. It broadened my horizons, enriched my understanding of human heart, and shared a kaleidoscope of inspiration to my work.

In the stillness of meditation, I discovered not only solace, but a wellspring of creative confidence. Years of practice unveiled a profound truth – that creativity isn’t a fleeting visitor, but a constant companion within. It empowered me to trust my inner experiences to empower the voice of my art.

Balancing the duality of creativity, I also found myself in the dynamic world of Miami Real Estate being a real estate investor as well as working as a Realtor.. This parallel venture, still ongoing, adds another layer of richness to my journey.

Today, my creations stand as a testament to the exquisite interplay of time, experience, and self-discovery. Each stroke, each hue, carries the imprints of a life lived in full. It is a tapestry woven with threads of introspection, travel, education, and the boundless capacity of the our Spirit.

As I stand amidst the gallery of my creations, it’s clear that my artistic signature isn’t just a mark on canvas, but an intimate impression on the very essence of my being.
In my narrative, I find an affirmation that creativity knows no age, and that the perfect moment is always the present one.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

Artistic Philosophy and Statement
Art, for me, is the articulation of elegance through colors and archetypes. The Circle, in its purest form, is the Universe itself. It embodies life, birth, learning, change, and transformation. It is our conduit to harmony with the world around us, a universal archetype of wholeness and perfection.
Inspired by the exploration of this Inner Circle, I invoke the healing properties that lie within this archetype. It is a marriage of visual art and the present moment, a fusion of modern elegance and the ineffable. It evokes the eternal Wheel of Eternity, a process without beginning or end.
This is Holistic Art – an emanation of harmony and peace. The circular form encapsulates energy, cosmic creation, movement, and completeness.
In a world filled with darkness and pain, my art serves as an invitation to find solace in the calm and healing presence of this universal archetype – a unifying symbol for well-being and prosperity.

Colorful and sensual, geometric and abstract, this artwork invokes healing and nurturing. It takes the viewer on a journey within. Through my art, I extend an invitation to discover the profound connections between inner and outer worlds, to find solace, and to experience the beauty of existence.
