Viktoria’s fluency across the classical, experimental, folkloric, and electronic music scenes have seen her talents showcased in spaces across The Netherlands, Germany, UK, Canada, France, and Bulgaria. As a classical artist, she has performed with many ensembles of the highest caliber such as NKK NXT, Netherlands Kamerkoor, Amsterdam Baroque, SILBERSEE Opera Company, and Holland Festival.

Her self-produced projects involve field recordings, composition, and DIY electronic instruments made from everyday objects. Viktoria’s work explores themes of memory and nostalgia, migration and transnationalism, cultural heritage and folklore, and the relationship between urban environments, sound pollution, and transformation of space. With storytelling as a binding element across all of her mediums, she weaves individual, collective, and mythological narratives together to offer her audiences a compelling message.

Viktoria’s extensive experience as a performing artist is matched no less by her dedicated research and ongoing curiosity. She has earned numerous degrees from The Royal Conservatory in The Hague, New Bulgarian University, and Leiden University in the fields of classical singing, cultural studies, Arts, Media and Society, and Sonology. These studies led not only to her highly refined vocal technique, but to the development of an artistic research project called Sewing Grounds. In this project, Viktoria connects classical singing practice with Bulgarian traditional folklore singing, as well as body and vocal improvisation.

Viktoria’s ongoing research of these themes is actively shared through Bitter Blossoms, a vocal trio formed in 2022 with singers Julie Hasfjord and Phoebe Kirrage. Their repertoire is based on collections of songs from their home countries, often incorporating multidisciplinary practices such as field-recorded interviews, landscape videos, and storytelling. The trio has toured successfully through the NL and UK.

Viktoria is also a founding member of the ensemble SamoDivas, for which she created the show Metamorphosis of a Female Character. The show ultimately won the Themaprijs and Oorkaanprijs and premiered at the Grachtenfestival in 2019. In addition to music curation, Viktoria was part of an artistic commission for several years called Kunstgang Leiden, with whom she organised and curated multiple exhibitions between 2021-2025. 

In short, Viktoria is a multifaceted artist who tries to redefine what it means to be an artist today. She is also a human being who takes pleasure in walking through the forest, caring for your disobedient dog, and savoring fine foods with her friends.
