Victoria Castillo

My name is Victoria Castillo, I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. If being compared to this eternal universe I suppose I’m nothing special, irrelevant even, but then again if we’re all being compared to this majestuous planet maybe we’re all a little irrelevant? Individually though, I think we are all kind of our own little world, maybe even our own fragile universe, we possess a mind that has the capacity to store enough information to overload state of the art computers, we house these traits that slowly build and shape us. I’m not here to expand on our existence, I’m here to expand on my existence, who i am basically. My own little universe ran by the idea of art and how it continues to imitate life, because for me, everything is art, from how we cease to exist to this undefined incredibly random piece of writing. For me, everything sparks inspiration and could open the door to endless possibilities, my mind is my own personal ever present camera lense, it’s always studying anything and everything around me, eventually creating a masterpiece, sometimes, a beautiful one or sometimes a tragic one. That’s me, I stand for individuality and most importantly I stand for me .

“If you look at any great fashion photograph out of context, it will tell you just as much about what’s going on in the world as a headline in The New York Times.”
- Anna Wintour

“I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.”
- Bob Dylan

“When I look back on my life, it’s not that I don’t want to see things exactly as they happened, it’s just that I prefer to remember them in an artistic way. And truthfully, the lie of it all is much more honest because I invented it.”
- Stefani Germanotta
