dreaming in the light

With the seasonal shift into Spring

there is new energy

new vibration/sound/frequency

we are gaining new light

gaining new consciousness

attuning to the essence of beginnings..

magic is awake

and nature is shimmering to life

the seeds from long ago

become realized

and appear in many new forms

reminding us

of the neverending cycle of creation

the spirit of regeneration, hope and renewal

the breath of new life-force

awaiting each moment

dreaming in the light

~victoria pettella~

Wishing you all an amazing Spring

to the sacred spells
of this newest season

cherish each treasure you find...

A natural draw to the experimental side of things..

Sparked by an Explorative and curious nature; I love the Experimental & Intuitive side of creativity. Creation is always awake, it lives uncaged and free, no rules to follow, only new seeds to explore.

I love all that is unusual & mysterious . I find connection & meaning in all that is imperfect, flawed & strangely-beautiful. I am drawn to the unseen, the ethereal-soulful essence of both light & dark, the spirit of nature, the seasons of transformation, patterns of creation and finding hidden magic in ordinary things.

Creative Encounters & Kindred Spirits

I love to meet and connect with fellow creatives! I have a deep appreciation for all artists, creative thinkers, unique souls.

While my nature is mostly introverted and I thrive as a hidden -solitaire, I have found connecting with other creative-spirits to be profoundly nourishing and deeply magical in ways my soul understands. To those I have met along the way that have enriched my life with your art-music-writing-creations-passion-energy-open-mindedness....I thank you immeasurably ! and to those I have reconnected with..thank you for giving me a sense of community in a world I always felt on my own in. Thank you for these creative encounters, they have transformed me.

first love ~ and the freedom to create

I think every child at some point has first picked up a camera, (toy or real) and fell in love with that special magic. I was always fascinated by black & white photos, polaroids & old pictures in family albums. In my teens I began my adventure with photography, then again in my 20's, I played in the darkroom developing film & creating prints, this is probably when I fell more deeply in love with it all.

I had a Pentax camera given to me from my older brother that I carried everywhere I roamed, shooting film wherever my spirit took me. I always explored on my own, (with a little bit of knowledge in my pocket) plus my intuitive nature guiding me in my own way to learn more and to seek and experiment in new ways. I love both analog and digital but my heart belongs in the darkroom.

I truly don't follow any rules, I like to feel free and uncaged and instead feel inspired to create in whatever way I feel guided in each moment...chasing seeds and visions is a journey afterall ! I love to feel my way through the Unseen, it is how we discover hidden realms and new strands to weave with.

Wherever you are on your adventure, be true to your own creative nature & follow your artistic-spirit as it speaks to you ..explore, have fun..keep creating and experimenting from your soul. Keep questing, take risks, indulge your unique-instincts and allow your artistic freedom to naturally unfold itself to you. ~victoria pettella~

A deep love for Imagery, Art, Photography & Creating Visual Seeds

Here you will Find my Creative Projects: Art- Photography, Portraits, Collaborations

I first fell in love with photography many moons ago while working in the darkroom & seeing my black & white prints come to life before my eyes, I became fascinated.

This sparked a journey of self-exploration through imagery.

A natural draw to the artistic and experimental side of things.

I have a deep love for all forms of photography from Old World to New & feel it is a realm of constant growth & more importantly, a magical way to intuit & experience your own artistic journey as it speaks to you !

Thanks for colliding into my little realm!

whats sparks me~creating imagery

I am drawn to exploring the energy of things, the feelings they emit or conjure through all the senses and more.

I am sparked by Mood, Atmosphere,

Imperfect Beauty, Hidden Energy.

I love both the ethereal, soulful &

the darkly- atmospheric

side of things. I am drawn to

flawed & imperfect beauty. Themes of transformation and transiting through cycles of life, breath ,death & healing seem to seep in my work.

I love to create imagery & see what natural accidents occur. Nature, the cycles-seasons deeply inspire me as well as odd, unusual-strange worlds, Fairytales & Realms of imagination & magic, folklore of all cultures, Gothic/ Romanticism, cinema, spooky movies etc.

I love natural light & even low light conditions & that intuitive connection of being guided by the play of unexpected elements creating alongside me.

Experimental visions also inspire,

through metaphors-narratives, hidden stories, emotions, inner myths & inbetween worlds.

My first love is film/analog, dark room experimentation & now in this digital era new forms of exploration. I love old cameras, antique portraits, vintage photos , different eras, anything that carries a mysterious feel. Sometimes I combine my photographs(analog & digital) together to create symbolic stories or to explore the strange and surreal.

I also love fashion photography &

creative portraiture; figurative,symbolic, conceptual,

illustrative & abstract.

I am drawn to imagery

that carries ethereal threads & love

the odd & mysterious in all things.

My journey has come from an inner exploratory place & I have found these threads have led me

to discover unconscious links to magical places that I was not aware of before.
