What are some of the compliments
you get on your work?
-Well. .. People usually say that
my art is funny/tropical and super colored, i love those opinions!
Where are you originally from?
-I am from Brazil! I live in an
island called Ilhéus, most of my
inspiration come from my land.

An unique artist who is well
rounded is hard to find, but
Victor Eloi is simply that.
He has a fresh style that
separates him from the rest.
Hailing from Brazil, his art
gives a whimsical; vibrant
display to each project that
many are drawn to. I’m honored to have found someone
so creatively inclined. With
his characters reminiscent
of 80’s super models, and a
style that brings the early
80’s into modern times, you
cannot help but be intrigued.
You have no choice but to
embrace his style as he owns
it like a Super Model on the
catwalk every time out.

Who recognized you and
gave you the break you
needed to become reconized?
-You know. .. All I do
as an artist is by myself, course I have some
amazing friends that
keep me inspired and motivated. But I am still
taking my own decisions.

What kind of mark to you
want to leave on the art
communities worldwide when
it’s all said and done?
- I just want to make
difference,to inspire artists to think out of the
box and create art which
touchs all kinds of people. I wanna be remembered
for that, for being original, different and inspiring!
Do you have other interest
besides art?
-Yeah! I’m really into
surf and modeling!
What is it about Art that
first attracted you?
-The power to express myself and entertain people
at the same time!!

What made you want to become
an artist?
- Humm. .. I have that necessity to express myself,
and drawing is the most cool
way of doing that. I draw
the characters that I don’t
see in television, There’s
a lot of things that need
to be drawing, that need to
be in television, in video
games, even in fashion industry. So I will take my
art to these places, I’m an
artist for that!

Who are some of the individuals that influenced you
as an artist?
-TONS OF PEOPLE! A Brazilian wri ter called Jorge
Amado, he is amazing! Names
as Fridah Kahlo, Otto Schimidt, Tiffany Ford, Gyimah
Gariba, Madeleine Flores,
Guillaume Singelin, Fifi
Lapin, Seo Kim, Jeremy
Scott in fashion, and music
inspires me a lot- Rihanna,
Azealia Banks, Banda uó,
Karol Conka...
