We were lucky to catch up with Vita Solzberg recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Vita thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.

May I start with two short stories? Once, a young colleague who was also a friend of mine asked me to explain the meaning and purpose of life. Fifteen years later, I sometimes find myself reconsidering my answer. Yet, it remains the same. I believe we just happened. There was no plan or purpose. And we are still happening. We are not finished yet, and we never will be. It is us who make changes to this Universe; it has no other hands.
Another story: A man once asked why I am so passionate about fractals and the Theory of Dynamic Chaos. I started with the basics, but he interrupted me, saying, “I’m not going to waste my time listening to something that doesn’t improve my life.” He didn’t let me say more. Since then, my mind has been constantly processing, searching for a way to build an enterprise that helps people navigate their doubts.
The project I call the meaning of my life started long before—more than 30 years ago—as a mere curiosity. I asked my aunt, a PhD in History, a very spiritual and multidisciplinary educated woman, and a teacher of Contemporary History in college, “Which is right: to withstand and fight Chaos or to learn to surf on its waves?” The spontaneous lecture about Satanist groups in Europe didn’t feel like the answer to my question. But a few days later, she visited me and handed me a booklet. It was a description of the newest discovery in mathematics and physics: the basics of the Theory of Dynamic Chaos.
It was mind-blowing! First, both my parents are professors of physics, and I know I’ve inherited their scientific thinking—science is my comfort zone. Second, my mom encouraged me to study fine arts, and I was just writing my diploma work, studying the semiotics of Belarusian folk arts (my country of birth). Long story short, I discovered that my pagan ancestors were creating fractals as symbols of the Universe centuries before scientists began to see them everywhere in the canvas of universal existence.
Despite trying many paths in life—journalism, filmmaking, PR, even taxi driving and retail—I always drift back to some form of “Making Fractals Meaningful Again.”
Currently, I do a lot toward that goal. I used new, contemporary, artistic forms to reinvent an old folk fractal decoration, depicting the Universe and protecting homes from evil. I made it faster to make and longer to last. I built my own art gallery for this art and, also, for other artists I love. I produce an art YouTube show ‘Art Talks’, part of which intends to discuss the history of my Fractus sculpture. I network with other art and entertainment enthusiasts. From my fractals, I’ve learned that We Are Fractus: the more connections, the more iterations, the vaster the world of our opportunities. I currently have several exhibitions featuring my Fractus art pieces coming this fall and in the first half of 2025. I’ve also started developing a ‘One Artist Talk’ show for stage performances about the essence and history of my beloved decoration—a 3D kinetic sculpture I call Fractus. And that’s not to mention other side endeavors.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

My short BIO:
Vita Solzberg is the mastermind behind Vitart.Gallery, an art activist, promoter, and artist. Her repertoire includes organizing online and offline exhibitions, producing the @Vitart-info YouTube channel featuring the ‘Art Talks’ show and backed up by Fractus.Info on-line magazine. She also creates her signature art form called Fractus. Vita is an active member of the Pasadena Society of Artists, where she volunteers to spread the vibes of artistry and support other art enthusiasts in fostering creativity.
Vita’s academic journey culminated in a degree in the History and Theory of Fine Arts in 1992 in Belarus—a nation then still tied to Soviet Union legacies. She resisted the pressure to critique artists for ideological purposes when independent galleries supporting artists were not yet established. Instead, she focused on independent journalism, which flourished during Glasnost and Perestroika. Vita excelled in TV news reportage, documentaries, feature films, and unscripted reality before returning to her lifelong dream of running her own art gallery and promoting creativity. Vitart.Gallery came to fruition after Vita Solzberg settled in Los Angeles in 2019.

Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?

I am afraid it would be impossible )). I was always very lucky to have a first in line access to new features. It looked like the life invented many things because I wanted it, very often. My company was the first to connect to Internet in my then country of residence in 1993. I happen to work with professionals who developed basics of features we use today and my super talented in VFX kid gives me ideas about the newest inventions. I can say, instead, that I predict many things a little bit before they become available to the public.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

I love this one! I was born in the Soviet Union, in a secondary republic always under the control of Moscow’s Communist power. My first trip to the USA happened the year after the collapse of Soviet rule, but I was too shocked to learn much (besides professional journalism at the CNN International Professional Program).

I relocated to the United States in 2015, and it took me half a year to adjust. During that time, I began to unlearn several things: being afraid of having and expressing my own opinion, trying to be like others. I started to learn I have the right and opportunity to invent my own life.

Here in the United States, the media may deliver sad and controversial news, but the core message often revolves around “the responsibility for the consequences of free choices.” When I happened to watch Russian TV again after half a year of being exposed to the messages about freedom, I was literally shocked by how depressive the media there felt. It seemed designed to instill the idea that there is no other help available to save people from a hostile environment except through the ruling authority. They promote being measurable and obedient to stay safe,
