Victoria Unikel is an American artist, media mogul, and President and co-founder of VUGA Group, a portfolio of 17 companies across 4 continents.
Her training was classical. As a child she was found to have perfect pitch and graduated as a professional cellist from the Gnessin School of Music, the top USSR school for gifted children. Later she graduated with honors from GITIS, the Russian Institute of Theatre Arts, founded in 1878 and once chaired by Stanislavsky.
As an actress she has appeared in film and television productions and performed on stages in Germany, Russia, Ukraine, France, and the United States in lead and supporting roles. Her television work includes series that ran to sixty and ninety episodes.
In music she has been writing, performing and releasing for more than twenty years. She created the gothic rock band Exorcist, writing its music and lyrics, and performed in the industrial project Unikel and the darkwave project Balance. Her catalog is published by The Orchard, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment; her albums have sold more than 200,000 copies. She founded Unikel Records, an independent label for industrial rock and dark cinematic music.
As UNIKEL she has been painting and exhibiting in galleries since 2008, working across painting, mixed media, photography and sculpture. Her collections include MONEY, WAR, GENDER, NEW YORK and the mixed-media DIAMONDS. She founded Trancerealism, an art movement in which the work is channeled from the Universe rather than observed. In 2019 her work took the top art prize at the MOSAIC Federation gala at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York.
One of Victoria's latest projects is EXORCISTA dark universe. It began as a single show and has grown into four: Games of Souls, the flagship dark anime; Dark Fairytales, a cinematic retelling of true classic fairy tales; Secrets, Spells & Shadows, a horror and true-crime podcast with two full seasons; and Magic Lab, which tests real rituals on camera.
