Victor A. Saint-Hilaire
I'm a multidisciplinary artist residing in Yonkers, NY specializing mainly in digital illustration, acrylic paintings and murals. I received my BFA at the Fashion Institute of Technology for Fine Arts Illustration in 2013 and have been working with Groundswell since 2015. Working with a powerful community of artists, staff, and youth from different parts of New York has helped me grow as an artist and an individual. I believe that knowledge and self-empowerment are important tools for personal and social change and I try to emphasize that on Groundswell projects as well as personal ones. My artwork often revolves around spirituality and other abstract concepts depicted via storytelling. I've always been intrigued by human innocence and my style tries to emulate that while tackling different subjects.
