This is Victoria Di Gioia! A multidisciplinary artist born in Portugal, who moved from Rio de Janeiro to Rotterdam to study art. Operating under “With Gioia”, she specializes in Art Direction, Visual Concepts, Costume & Prop Design. With ‘Gioia’ meaning “joy” in Italian, I’m thrilled to infuse each project with that very essence.

“Rooted Vengeance”
INSTALLATION (Dry pastels on brown paper) - 2017
The overwhelming aspect to this piece comes from the simplistic lines and overpowered negative space, which contrasts with the dense trees. Here, nature shows its strength by lifting the concrete that suppresses the organic flow of the roots, as well as seeing vines asphyxiate slanted lampposts. This physical retaliation of nature with urbanisation is seen as dominant, to the extent of it invading the viewer's space.
