Victoria, in her youth, studied drawing and pastel at the
Carnegie Mellon Museum of Pittsburgh and continued
on to art classes at Carnegie Mellon University. Her
years at CMU provided a range of course work including
drawing from live models and studying anatomy at the
Pitt Medical School Morgue. Victoria moved to New York
City, graduated from Parsons School of Design and
continues to live and work in New York.
Discussing Victoria Selbachs work, Pat Rogers writes,
“The paintings capture the beauty of the body cloaked in
shadow and layers of light. Angles created by the body’s
position, or by slashing shadows, feature prominently.
The patterns and visuals created are important
compositional elements. So is the implied narrative, the
situation and the imagined life of the subject.”
