Victoria Trakas is a printmaking artist currently practicing in Chicago, IL while attending the MFA program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She aims to evoke dark, intense emotions and illuminate the profound beauty that can emerge from the unfiltered human experience. There is freedom in vulnerability. When we are honest with ourselves and our emotions, it is healing. Through the use of human and animal figures in expressive compositions, she draws on emotions such as isolation, fear, and anxiety while simultaneously inspiring comfort and resilience.
