INew York born, self-taught, artist, Victor Caruncho has an overwhelming passion for the 
arts. Painting and Drawing was evident from an early age… 
Growing up in a family of artists, he was surrounded by the works of the Old Masters 
such as; Rembrandt, Vermeer, Van Gogh, Dali, Magritte and along with his favorite, 
Caravaggio whom all have shaped his career. 

After High School, Victor wanted to pursue his dreams of Art. He applied to the 
prestigious School of Visual Arts (SVA) in Manhattan, NYC and got accepted. However, 
after a certain flock of circumstances arose, Victor was not able to attend due to having 
to support himself financially. A few years pass by after struggling and working odd and 
end jobs Victor decided to take another artistic path. The opportunity came as he 
enrolled in the Plaza School of Architectural Drafting and Design located in NJ. While 
there he honed his skills in Architectural hand drafting and then later working with many 
established Architectural and Engineering firms. Although this line of work differs, Victor 
never abandoned his true passion of artistic expression. “Drawing and painting will 
never cease from my veins, it’s in my blood!” 

As the industry changed throughout the years and became more prominent with the use 
of more computers, another turn of events came upon him as he set out to start his own 
successful business as a Decorative Faux Painter and Artisan, leaving the world of 
Architecture and Engineering behind. There his business thrived completing many 
projects, accomplishing many faux finishes for homes and businesses and especially an 
abundance of Murals and decorative designs. Fine art canvas work was also in full effect! 
His unique look upon the world eminently shows in almost all aspects of his works from 
diverse Architectural designs to fabulous wall finishes and to his surprisingly different 
and separate views at everyday objects which are highly visible in all of his fine art 
pieces. Honoring the likes of the surreal masters Dali and Magritte, in a way, Victor’s 
works poke fun at everyday life in odd depictions of familiar objects in bizarre context. 
Painting images that make you think with hidden meanings or simply no meaning at all. 
Ordinary appear strange. A witty charm or a pun on words!

 
Victor’s other interests include Health, Fitness and Bodybuilding and a love for the 
human form. Music, playing guitar, and spending time with his lovely family.
