Victor Pacheco
Victor Pacheco was born in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, and a local artist in Connecticut. Victor attended the University of Hartford Art School and received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture. He worked several years for not-for-profit organizations teaching youth in the greater Hartford area in painting, photography, printmaking, video, mural painting, design, and ceramics. He made two sculptures featured in the Eastern Connecticut State University Art Gallery and gave a presentation talk to students and staff about his works.
Victor Pacheco uses a traditional style when making sculptures by repurposing leftover and recycled materials and casting bronze and aluminum for a sustainable process that helps the environment.
