In this episode, Victoria discusses the importance of creating art for oneself before considering the audience. She emphasizes the need for artists to reflect on their true desires, trust their artistic voice, and navigate social media without letting it dictate their creative choices. Victoria encourages artists to embrace evolution in their work, prioritize personal fulfillment over external validation, and view their art as a lasting legacy. She also shares insights on engaging with audiences authentically, maintaining open conversations with galleries, and allowing curiosity to guide artistic growth.
