Portrait by: Ashley BakerVictoria Urquidi (b. 1993) is a Phoenix based sculptor and installation artist who creates large scale works for public spaces, festivals, and events. Working across materials, light, and space, she carries each piece from sketch to installation, shaping how it's built, where it lives, and how people encounter it.
Raised in El Paso, Texas, on the U.S.–Mexico border, Victoria pays close attention to boundaries, visible and invisible, and how they shape the way people move, work, and live. Her work looks at labor, identity, and technology, and at the material cost of the systems we depend on.
Before studying sculpture at Arizona State University, she worked in festival production, building immersive installations as part of the creative team. That experience shapes how she works at scale, with attention to how people move through a space, and with pieces designed to be built, transported, and installed efficiently. In 2025, she founded Sadly Curated Studios, a Phoenix art direction and installation studio where she partners with local fabricators to build each work.
