I'm really grateful to have them .I am from educated family, my mother is teacher & father is an engineer, my grandfather (God bless his soul). He was an artist and a musician. I grow up with respect to people, with love to God and artistic environment.
* Tell us, when you start discover your talents.
My love to art appeared since I was a little girl , around 2-3 years old .I remember that clearly ,and it’s a really one of the funniest stories of my family, I wore my mom high hill shoes ,sat on the small table and I start to imitate playing piano. my parents were adored from my action they said:I am an art person and decided to send me to musical art school, because they saw potential in me .I was too young just 4 years old .After that my parents realized that they must buy a piano for me .it was luxury instruments but they did it ,because they want me to learn it ,my father took loan from the bank, just to get me the piano.
*what about your education?
When I graduated from high school .I joined the music college, and I spent there 4 years, I've got diploma certificate as a pianist, theorist of music and music critic. After college I felt that it wasn’t enough for me, I want to do something else, I want to know more I want to my knowledge about music and art, so I decided to go to university to continue my study in the same field and my choice was university which is located in capital of Ukraine (Kiev) it's one of the famous university, many talented and famous people graduated from there, I was ambitious and I want to get a higher level
In the same time I was studying and practicing because it’s the best way to get better knowledge, I decided to do that just to improve myself ,I've got a part time job as a teacher in music school ,I taught children music history ,theory and theater,(I believe that all kids must study art ,music and classic dance .it helps them in future ,even if they will not take art as ( career) it wasn’t easy ,but I knew why I'm doing that.
* so, what let you come to Jordan?
Victoria: when I was working and studying in Kiev I felt that it wasn’t enough space for me to express my feelings, I wanted to my skills to the world and to see more .i decided to visit other countries.
It was one of my dream, I believe that all our dreams become true one day .God will send you an opportunity and chances if you are really wish for it, suddenly, I was invited to work in Japan as a pianist in a hotel,it was risky and scary for me ,but I took this chance and never regret after ,it was absolutely different and good experience .
After Tokyo I got back to Kiev, and again by chances I met my friends in gallery and they told me a lot about Jordan. (They are painters and they used to work in Jordan) At that time I didn’t know a lot about Middle East.
Middle East is a very exotic and attractive place for Ukrainian people .we are familiar with Arabic food, tradition, culture (in Kiev we have a lot of Arabic restaurants, these days its very popular to learn Arabic belly dance).but I wanted to see it by my own eyes especially I heard about Jordan Baptism side (I'm very religious).so it was one of my main reasons to come and see it by my own eyes. So, the moment when I arrived to Jordan I fall in love with this miracle and holly land country. Now I consider Jordan as my country. I learnt a lot here.I adore your people, tradition, culture and of course food (ha-ha-ha).
I started to learn Arabic language just to understand more , so I joined the community college (language center).the teachers there were very kind and helpful. They were really treated me like a daughter. I have teary eyes when I talk about it.
Before I came to Jordan I visited other countries, it was good experience, and it will always stay in my heart as a good memories, I never felt comfortable like here. Jordan is my love and hope that I will never leave this beautiful country.
*Now you come for Jordanian film industry.
When I came to Jordan my friends introduced me to many nice art people. and one from them amazing person was Ali Maher ,we become friends ,I told him about my dreams my ambitious ,my plans, he saw something on me and I really appreciate it, later on, he invite me to participate in movie,(sillier differences, director Mohammad ludfi).my role was a foreigner lady trying to survive in Amman, after that was series.
