About
Victor Santos
When
Victor Santos left a successful career as a commercial artist,
he turned his talents to the painting of still lifes and
florals in oil and acrylic. Santos was born in the Philippines
in 1934 and earned a degree in fine arts at the University
of the Philippines. He began his career in advertising where
he received numerous industry awards. In 1971, while working
as a commercial artist in San Francisco, he was persuaded
to move to Vancouver to take up painting on a full-time
basis.
Santos' style of realism displays a meticulous attention
to detail. His purity of line and glowing colours give his
work a quiet beauty which Canadian and American collectors
esteem. Santos is now a Canadian citizen and works from
his home in Delta, British Columbia.
