About Vicky Von Knorring
Vicky Von Knorring’s educational background is as diverse as her artistic expression. She studied at the prestigious Ecole des Beaux-Arts, delved into filmmaking at the Tisch School of Art (New York University), and earned a degree in architecture from Kingston University, London. At 18, Vicky embarked on a life-changing journey on the Trans-Siberian train to China. Her travels led her into the mountainous regions around Tibet, where she immersed herself in the tranquility of Buddhist monasteries, practicing yoga and meditation.
Raised in an environment steeped in art and culture, Vicky Von Knorring was exposed to exhibitions and museums from an early age. Her parents’ social circle included numerous artists and cultural influencers, fostering a rich creative atmosphere. Whether playing Robin Hood, acting in theater, or skiing, Vicky’s childhood was a blend of artistic immersion and active exploration.
Vicky’s heritage is a symbiosis of two distinct lineages. Her mother’s family, reminiscent of Finnish forest fairies, resonates with her deeply, while her father’s lineage traces back to the mythical Count Gustaf Mauritz Armfelt, adding a touch of historical intrigue to her identity.
Vicky Von Knorring’s Career background
After her studies, Vicky Von Knorring gained invaluable experience working in architecture offices in Tokyo and Switzerland. However, her passion for the audiovisual arts soon took over, leading her to direct music videos for industry giants such as Universal, Sony BMG, and Warner in Helsinki. This phase of her career was a prelude to her eventual move to the South of France, where she dedicated more time to her art.
Vicky’s work is a profound exploration of spiritualism in a cosmopolitan world, especially pertinent during these turbulent times marked by climate change and geopolitical tensions. Her art provides a sense of solace and introspection, resonating deeply with young people facing uncertainty.
The ‘Saint’, ‘Dopamine’ and ‘Genesis’ collections
A serendipitous meeting with her songwriter husband, Dominic Bugatti, at a conference in Cannes marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Relocating to the French Pyrenees, a region renowned for its mystical aura and miraculous sightings, particularly in Lourdes, Vicky drew deep inspiration from her surroundings.
This inspiration manifests powerfully in her ‘SAINT’ collection, where figures are depicted as pure energy or ‘aura,’ capturing the spiritual essence and making it universal. Her ‘DOPAMINE’ collection explores themes of transience and playfulness, akin to atoms in perpetual division. Her third collection, ‘GENESIS’, features abstract shapes in constant motion, creating a sense of flux. All three collections are characterized by evocative dark backgrounds embellished with diamond dust.
