About

I was raised by my grandmother in a small town in Tamaulipas, Mexico. My artistic journey began at the age of five, utilizing various mediums such as graphite, watercolors, clay, pastels, and colored pencils. Subsequently, I transitioned to acrylic and oil paints on canvas. Formal art education was not accessible in my hometown due to limited opportunities and financial constraints. Upon relocating to the United States in 2013, I pursued art education throughout high school and college, ultimately earning a degree in Fine Arts from the University of North Texas in Denton. Currently, I am a professional painter, and I find immense fulfillment in my artistic career.

Artist Statement

My name is Victor Ferretiz. I am a surrealist artist, and I like to paint with oils and acrylics on canvas, as well as work with mixed media on objects such as clay, old wooden boxes, textiles, and drawing paper. My greatest inspiration comes from observing nature. My main focus is surrealism, naturalism, and magical or mystical art. Through these styles, my vision explores self-identity, memory, transformation, and the human connection with nature. I like to be meticulous with attention to detail, and a mix of spontaneity and precision in my work. The stylization of my work is very important to me. I like to be spontaneous and forget the rules of art and immerse myself in my own inspiration to connect with myself and feel those emotions in every brushstroke. I believe art is a powerful form of expression that transcends language and culture, which creates a dialogue between the artist and the viewer. I aim to invite viewers to engage with their own emotional connections to the environment, prompting reflection on our place within it.
