Victor Schegin Seehund

Victor Seehund, a Paris-based visual artist, first engaged with paint at the age of 15 through graffiti and tagging in the streets of Paris. His artistic journey evolved from lettering to figurative subjects, eventually leading him to experiment with traditional mediums.

Holding a Bachelor's degree in Journalism, he refined his skills in photography and editing, both of which are integral to his current artistic practice. His formal training includes five years of intensive study in drawing and oil painting at Paris' public workshops, where esteemed artists, including surrealist painter Gilles Fourgassié, a former protégé of Nicolas Wacker, mentored him.

Today, Seehund’s work reflects a synthesis of technical mastery and a deep understanding of visual storytelling, shaped by years of discipline and exploration. Seehund’s figurative paintings bridge reality and the invisible currents of our inner self with a note of tragedy. By juxtaposing realistically rendered details with areas of expressive abstraction, the painter aims to reveal a haunting beauty. He is not painting portraits; he’s painting the echoes of feelings that linger between us. Through this interplay of form and feeling, the artist creates a space for contemplation, where vulnerability, solitude, evanescence, and hope coexist.
