Biography
[edit]Villasana was born in 1982 in Guadalajara, Mexico and lives in England and Mexico.[2] She studied design at ITESO University in Mexico.[3] Villasana moved to London, England where she created street art.[4] She also explored careers as a florist and fashion designer before returning to painting, street art, and collages.[5] During her time at ITESO she was influenced by history, human relationships and culture and these influences are shown in her work today.[4] These influences leads to a surreal and unfinished aesthetic in her work that shows the importance of change and imperfection.[5] Victoria Villasana has an interesting approach to textile because she draws inspiration from textile traditions that are used in mexico and around the world and this approach makes her unique and stand out.[6] As of right now Victoria Villasana currently resides in both Mexico and England and she is still focusing on her craft of installation, collaborations and social work.[7]
Art
[edit]Villasana is known for her use of yarn in paintings and street art.[8] Her themes include feminism, cross culturalism, and social issues.[9] Her work continues to be shown in galleries, commercial work, and social projects.[2] Her work involves applying colorful textiles onto black and white images of cultural icons, historical figures and many more.[10] Her art also explores the different themes of feminism and cross cultural connections.[11] One main theme that you will see in Victoria Villasana work is that she tends to leave threads uncut and she extends beyond the frame and this gives the work a dynamic and unfinished aesthetic look.[12]
