Amber Vittoria
Amber Vittoria is an illustrator out to change the beauty industry.
To upset and redefine our absurd beauty standards. To tell the narrative that: “It’s okay to be who you are. You don’t have to fit into any particular box or sphere or line that other people say you have to. There is not one definition of beauty. As long as you stay true to yourself, that is the most important thing you can do.”
Amber makes images of women all shapes and sizes. Big and hairy. Small and wide. Abnormally long arms and abnormally short legs. Women who are beautiful simply because they are women.
Amber’s work has appeared on the cover of numerous publications including The New York Times Magazine, Cultured Magazine, and Teen Vogue. She’s partnered with big names like Condé Nast, Man Repeller and Gucci, and she sells her art all over the world.
All from taking a stand for what she believed in, resisting what she didn’t, and making art that is honest.
Some things we talk about…
- getting your art out there when no one’s heard of you and no one knows your work
- how to grow your Instagram following
- the power in honest art
- how to make your own success and create your own career
“There’s this sentiment that artists have to wait for people to come to them so that they don’t appear to be too eager. The hell with that. I don’t care if I appear to be eager, I am. I love this. I want to put this out there.”
“Not everyone is going to like your work. That’s impossible. As long as the work that you’re making is honest to you and isn’t offensive, negative, or putting other people down, just put it out there and see what happens.”
