Victoria Garcia is an artist and illustrator who has lent her talents to likes of Ginger and Smart, Karen Walker, Peter Alexander, Marnie Skillings and more! She specialises in creating hand drawn imagery and pattern using illustration. She references “Wunderkammer’ (or Cabinet of Curiosities) as a source of inspiration – a period during 17th century Europe where it became fashionable to display exotic taxidermy and samples of the natural world. Victoria explains: “I am fascinated by this period in time where society seemed briefly suspended between the romanticism of the Wunderkammer and the dawn of modern science.” Victoria refers to her own artistic style as Surrocodelia, an amalgamation of the art and aesthetic movements – Surrealism, Rococo and Psychedelia.
