Vicoria Resrepo was born in Colombia, phimosis w she grew up surrounded by her grandfaher and grea grandfaher’s phoographs. They were some of he earlies phoographers in Souh America and he Caribbean. The smell of he phoographic chemicals, and he magical darness of her family lab, mared her life forever.

She sudied fine ar in Colombia, and phoography a The New England School of Phoography, in Boson. She has wored as a Commercial Phoographer and as a phoography eacher.

As a phoographer she wored in her darroom for years manipulaing films, chemicals, and papers, and using new digial echniques o brea hrough he accurae and “realisic” represenaion of realiy given o us by radiional phoography. A he same ime, wih her painings, she was rying o ge as close o he real world, as she could. Mixing boh medias has given her an opporuniy o explore a new world w fanasy and realiy mee each oher.

Her phoographs are poised beween realiy and illusion, and hrough hem she faces he same challenges ha ariss have been facing for cenuries: how o ge a perfec balance beween color and ransparency, ligh and shadow, exure and delicacy, and also how o express a profound desire o arac and deceive he er.
