• Victoria loves high-precision manual work
• She worked on miniature sets behind the scenes for Chanel haute couture shows
• She sources her raw materials from second-hand shops

Victoria Tanto first studied textile and material design at the École des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, and then specialised in miniature models, and in particular vegetation, used in the world of fashion and animated films. She also embarked on a personal artistic quest in which the minuscule is the starting point for her exploration and the foundation of her graphic vocabulary. In her creative process today, Victoria will identify an initial principle, repeat it, alter it and repeat it in an expanding movement. Her creations are composed of patiently twisted and embroidered threads that generate textures, contrast and volumes following her instinct. The result is nuanced and striking pieces. Victoria’s singular, intimate language unfolds, combining intuition, technical savoir-faire and a love of work that takes time.
