Biography

Víctor Mateo was born in Tangier in 1945 to Catalonian parents. In 1957 his family moved to Canada where he lived until 1986. He now lives and works in Barcelona.

Mateo is a primarily self-taught artist but has been inspired by Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. His abstract paintings express his Mediterranean heritage in free and dramatic compositions of color, line and texture.

Exhibited internationally since 1984, Mateo’s work is included in private collections in Canada, the United States, Japan and Europe.
