Victoria Montesinos was born in Mexico City to a renowned Mexican movie director, Fernando A. Rivero. From the age of twelve, she studied with the great Spanish painter, Jose Bardasano for the next five years.

In 1983, she relocated from Mexico to New York to create lithographs after she was contracted by one of the largest galleries in America. While Montesinos was working NYC, she had the opportunity to work with acclaimed surrealist painter, Leonora Carrington, which was highly educational for her.

"I really wanted to explore and go inside their world, find all the textures, layers, and passages of just one flower. They are small universes and I feel captured by their beauty. Flowers are an incredible way for nature to show the infinity of existing colors."
