Artist Reception: "The Poetry of Vintage Nostalgia" by Victoria Amelina

Everyone is invited to a reception to meet artist Victoria Amelina and view her exhibition "The Poetry of Vintage Nostalgia."

This exhibition presents still life photography that celebrates quiet beauty. Each composition draws inspiration from classical still life traditions and is created using locally sourced flowers, fruits, and found objects. Through careful lighting and thoughtful arrangement, the works reveal the elegance hidden in everyday forms—inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and rediscover beauty in the familiar. Together, these photographs form a visual meditation on light, texture, and atmosphere. The collection blends Old Master influence with contemporary sensibilities, offering warmth, depth, and serenity. Rooted in the landscapes and culture of Southern California, the exhibition honors the region’s natural abundance while fostering mindfulness and appreciation for life’s simple moments.
