Victor Vera
Dallas-Based Artist | Original Paintings & Commissioned Work
I am a painter based in Dallas, Texas. I've been creating art since before I could speak—literally drawing before I could talk. This lifelong passion has evolved into a professional practice.
About My Work
I specialize in oil paintings, watercolors, and acrylics, with a particular love for capturing architectural facades, cityscapes, and beloved pets. My work ranges from abstract pieces that complement modern spaces to detailed commissioned portraits that celebrate what matters most to you.
