Artist Biography 

Victoria Sills is an artist and graduate of the University of Brighton and The Other MA.

Victoria works across multiple disciplines, primarily with paint, print & drawing using traditional methods to explore contemporary subjects such as mental health in an ever-increasing technological world. Victoria is interested in making contemporary art accessible to wider audiences by using traditional techniques.

Although the work can appear minimal, there is a sense of strong emotion to it, often trying to capture the character and essence of the subject with a series of expressive marks and a limited palette within a confined space.

Selected group exhibitions include The ING Discerning Eye 2024, Society of Women Artists 2025, 2024, Britten Pears Summer Contemporary 2025, The Ruth Borchard Self Portrait Prize 2023 and The Royal Institute of Oil Painters 2023, 2022.
