Mick Victor is a multidisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles, whose work traverses painting, photography, and mixed media.
Working from his 1,200 sq. ft. studio at Möbius Studios, Mick treats his materials—from oils and acrylics to cameras and found objects—not as single-function tools, but as a collective narrative device.
That instinct has carried him from a story-portrait commission for The Museum of Latin American Art to exhibitions with Saatchi Art at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, from a branding collaboration with Environ Architecture to a residency at Monet's Gardens in Giverny, France. His work has been shown across Los Angeles, Paris, and Santa Barbara, and he continues to develop new work from his 1,200 sq ft studio in Los Angeles.
