The theme of the artist's works is the theme of the Universe. The parallel lines present on the canvases symbolize the essence of being and the endless flow forward. It is similar to the string theory, which states that the smallest particles are the strings that sound and create our Universe. The intention to comprehend the world of emotions and feelings, an attempt to penetrate the inner world of the viewer to touch the secret of his soul.

The artist mainly paints with oil, but also uses mixed media, adding gold foil and acrylic paints. Victoria chose grotesque as her main artistic technique, with the help of which she creates a holistic picture of the world in the image of an animal or a person. Exposing the interconnection of all living things on Earth. The image of a woman is often present on the artist's canvases. Victoria explains this as follows: “For me, a woman is the Universe. Her emotional states and feelings in the beauty of the moment make me abandon the color and detail of the image, the personification of faces, leaving the viewer with only an artistic image to reflect on.”
