Victoria Cassinova: Creative Alchemy and the Deliberate Art of Becoming
Painter Victoria Cassinova survived a five-story fall—and turned that life-altering moment into a masterclass in creative alchemy. From learning to walk again to redefining her path as an artist, Victoria shares how she transforms pain into purpose, and why manifesting your dreams often requires us to slow down to speed up. Victoria is an LA-based visual artist whose work explores the unconscious and unseen. Her bold, multimedia style blends striking portraiture with abstract textures, touching on themes of identity, resilience, and community. Known for her large-scale public murals, her distinct voice has made her a sought-after collaborator for brands like Netflix, Disney Pixar, Adidas, CNN, Time Magazine, The Washington Post, Teen Vogue, and more. She’s also contributed to political and social justice initiatives through powerful visual storytelling. Entirely self-taught and fiercely expressive, Victoria’s art is as much about social commentary as it is about beauty, placing her among the most compelling creative voices in LA’s contemporary art scene.
