Victor Martinez is internationally known as one of Peru's premier artists in watercolor media.  He is renowned for his sensitive portraits of Andean characters, and its landscapes and seascapes.  At his sixty-nine years old, Victor and his wife, Gladys, live in California and return annually to Peru where he often paints the tranquility of the coast and the splendor of the ancient stone missions buildings.  His work, found in private and corporate collections in North America, is just as popular with collectors of South America & Europe.

About his work Victor says: "The images that attract me and constitute the integrity of my work are those which are linked to man in its daily chores, its surroundings and attitudes.  They are landscapes and people in particular, of a remote and hidden region in the province of Arequipa in Peru: the Valley of Colca."
