Collection: Viktoria Strecker

Viktoria Strecker (b. 1987 in Hanover) lives and works in Germany. She first studied Fine Arts at the Alanus University in Alfter and then at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where she worked for many years in Marcel Odenbach's class and as his assistant. In her artistic practice, she combines drawing, object, and sculpture into a unique visual language that develops from intuitive settings, organic structures, and precise spatial condensations. Her works are created through lengthy processes in which lines, surfaces, and materials gradually come together to form complex spatial constellations.

At the heart of Strecker's work is the exploration of growth, transformation, and order. Starting from drawing gestures, she develops forms that evoke biological, geological, or microscopic structures without depicting concrete models. Her works move between organic appearance and constructed system, between fragility and stability. This results in multi-layered works that explore the transition from surface to space and raise questions about perception, materiality, and spatial experience.

Her works have been presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions at home and abroad, including Düsseldorf, Berlin, Cologne, Basel, Miami, Rio de Janeiro, and New York. She has also participated in international art fairs such as Positions Berlin, Volta New York, and Paper Positions Basel. Strecker has received several scholarships and residencies, including in Vermont and the USA, and has been nominated multiple times for prestigious awards. In 2024, she was awarded the Rainer Funke Art Prize by the city of Cologne. Her works are in private and public collections, including the Philara Collection in Düsseldorf.
