Bio and Statement — Victoria Kitira

The use of the thing is also its preservation.

Born in northern New Jersey, Victoria vehemently rejected any athletic activity and naturally gravitated to the arts, first violin then piano and then the fine arts, primarily oil painting – all of which she continues to this day. She’s attended multiple programs in institutions including Parsons School of Design, Pratt Institute, The Florence Academy of the Arts and Sotheby’s. She has a realistic and impressionistic background for oil painting and has since then, branched out in animation, film, performance art and drawing, and incorporates these fields into her work. Victoria’s work has touched upon topics of mathematics, science while also investigating light and projections. Her Senior Thesis work, titled "Learn / Destroy / Preserve “ at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts described an intellectual and moral dilemma of art conservation when applied to music - two field that are very near and dear to her heart.

Since graduating from the Museum School, she has continued her education at Boston University and New York University in preparation for graduation school in art conservation. She currently lives in Boston and is a part time intern at Studio TKM Associates.

In addition to working toward art conservation, Victoria also founded Key Signature Designs - a small graphic arts, photography and videography business.
