Victoria Villasana was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. She attended ITESO Universidad in Guadalajara, where she studied graphic and industrial design. However, the program's emphasis on computers and technology was off-putting to Villasana, who preferred more hands-on innovation of art which is created by hand, not technology. On a summer break in the early 2000s, she traveled to Europe and felt at home in London, where she learned English and was inspired by the street art of Pablo Delgado. Villasana also has an interest in fashion- she briefly worked as a fashion stylist and fashion blogger. However, this interest in fashion culminated in the development of her distinct style, in which she combines paintings and textiles. Her pieces often depict fabric spilling out of paintings in a three-dimensional manner, encapsulating her style based on fabric, geometry, color, and pattern.
