“Do you have fond memories of visiting the countryside as a child? A nostalgia for those simpler, rose-tinted memories? These are the feelings I focus on recreating in my aerial embroidery landscapes,” Victoria shared on her website, passionately talking about her art and her story. Now, the artist lives in the countryside – a place full of perfect inspiration for her creations, coming from all that natural beauty that she’s surrounded with. Having recently bought her dream house, she continues to create art, expressing “a nostalgia that is both comforting and bittersweet, bringing back rose-tinted memories of simpler days past.” The earliest instances of embroidery use seem to date back to the Cro-Magnon era, roughly 30,000 B.C. The technique itself is believed to have originated in Ancient China, somewhere between the 3rd and 5th centuries B.C. A few hundred years later, between the years 300 and 700 A.D., clothing with embroidery was already found in Europe, too. The game was changed forever when the Industrial Revolution hit, and the first embroidery machine was invented in the mid-1800s in France. It was here that the craft reached the doorstep of mass production. Now, thanks to cheaper materials, simplified pattern papers, and modern technology, almost anyone interested can try their hand at this hobby. While this art may no longer symbolize wealth, the beauty that it produces is still around, shining brighter than ever before. At the same time, few would argue that these creations are anything less than spectacular, and thanks to artists like Victoria, we get to appreciate that beauty in all its glory.
