Vittoria Notarbartolo di Villarosa was born Rome in 1995. After earning a bachelor's degree in Marketing and Psychology, Vittoria decided in 2018 to approach the world of art, her great passion, and began to try her hand at making and producing hand-carved jewelry through lost wax. In 2019, she launched her brand V.N.V. Sculpted Jewels, which she has exhibited internationally in numerous showrooms and on various online platforms.
Approaching an intrinsic form of expression, played on the reduced size of detail, he focuses on the ability to carve matter through the use of sophisticated manual techniques, as an alternative to the often impersonal and massifying tool of digital technology.
During the pandemic years, Vittoria began to think about how she could diversify her Art to fit the historical period in which the entire world was required to live and/or enjoy the familiar surroundings of home, putting aside travel, mundane events and everyday life.
Without abandoning his great passion for goldsmithing, Vittoria began to try her hand, as a self-taught artist, at making one-off Sculptures, specializing in busts of animals like crocodiles, cobras, wolves, eagles and other animals, as ornamentation for homes and hotels, initially in painted clay and covered with vibrant colors charged with meaning and symbolism.
The sculptor in fact, chooses the depth of each animal's eyes to express best her empathy for this natural dimension, marked by a powerful effectiveness of nonverbal language and by a fair communication, made of glances and expressions of the body, which are difficult to manipulate or deceive. Overcoming the fences of a convoluted human language that is not always intelligible, the animal universe is able to make itself understand itself more clearly, without distortion or deception. There will in fact be a selection of heads (and more) finely crafted in ceramics-such as the glazed cobra or crocodile, the giraffe made with the engobe technique - all connoted by a strong coloristic and formal imprint.
