About the Artist
Victor Fuentes was born and educated in El Salvador and entered Canada with his family as a Refugee. El Salvador is the smallest Spanish speaking nation in the Western hemisphere, situated on the Pacific coast of Central America. This country has been ravaged by endless civil war and natural disasters but the spirit of their people is strong.
Having a passion for "The Arts" Victor is a creative musician, songwriter, theatrical writer/director, traditional dancer, poet, contemporary acrylic artist and teaches Spanish to people who volunteer their services to work on humanitarian projects in El Salvador. Victor is the cofounder of an art group “Harmony Hopes” and is instrumental in organizing the Annual Harmony Hopes Art Exhibition to raise funds for children’s art programs in El Salvador. He also works very hard with his Salvadoran community.
