Victoria Wylie

Victoria makes contemporary landscape paintings from her home studio in Angus.

Exploring the wilderness of Scotland’s land and seascapes, she creates atmospheric paintings that celebrate nature’s vastness, the ever-changing drama of shifting elements, and the dynamic interplay of light where sky, sea, and land meet.

Horizon lines fascinate her, a fascination rooted in her upbringing near the North Yorkshire Moors. The vast stretches of openness still inform her work in many ways. Her paintings evoke a deep sense of openness and calm, yet through expressive brushstrokes, rich textures, and bold colour contrasts, she captures the fleeting intensity of stormy skies and golden bursts of sunlight.

The paintings are memories of these moments, and while each artwork is a reflection of a particular place, they encompass numerous experiences. Each painting lends a fragment of itself to the next.
