The Myth, The Mysteries & The Illuminated Works of Victoria Moore.
It was “The Mysteries” and the teachings of the ancient philosophers that spoke to her heart and have influenced her master works for almost two decades, where the secret sciences of the Egyptians regarding the culture and unfoldment of the human soul began her journey with “The Goddess Isis”. As many masters before, she chose deep research along the path of personal spiritual evolution and has embraced the mythical in a new interpretation for our time. As a painter, she invokes many elements of renaissance, classical and romantic styles and infuses the symmetry and of Alphonse Mucha and Erte, who she admits, are some of many influences. She engaging woods as a substrate at times when texture becomes an integral element. Stylistically, she often blends old school with new, the past with the present.
Even Victoria’s paintings of non-mythic work appear influenced by the two pillars of spiritualistic philosophy, the Western Tradition and the Eastern Tradition. “In these mythic works I endeavor to knock on the door of the human heart which, when opened, causes one to remember their magical origins. Through this entry, impossible things happen and the portal within the human psyche transports dreams into the visibly accessible works of art.”
It’s spirit lies within the natural philosophy of ancient Greece where theoretical foundations were laid in 5th century B/C. She muses that “As an artist, in each work,I can create a stumbling block or a stepping stone, whichever results, it is there as a statement that will outlive me.“ When you see the works exhibited as a group the meanings seem to dance together - mind and emotion, spirit and material, thought, word, and image all coalesce in a single vibrant synergy .- Loretta Reinick, FINE ART MAGAZINE
