Victor
Spinelli
Photographer, painter, sculptor, illustrator, writer & free spirit
Victor Spinelli is a globally traveled multimedia artist whose adventurous spirit has taken him through 85 countries, shaping a career rooted in environmental awareness and artistic expression.
With a background as a Commercial Hot Air Balloon Pilot and a degree in Architecture from the University of Buffalo, Spinelli’s work spans photography, sculpture, film, and graphic novels. He gained early recognition capturing the surreal world of Manumission in Ibiza and later launched SPiN Galleries in Shanghai.
His notable series—Crucifixion, Beast of Burden, Balance Series, and Read My Lips Series (Not shown)—reflect his deep reverence for Mother Earth.
In 2022, he unveiled an 8-meter sculpture of his iconic image Diver UP at Burning Man, marking a pivotal point in his career.
Based in Ibiza, Spinelli will ring in the first edition of the SPiN Art Residency in Ibiza, Spain, (linked here) which he is organizing. Its objective is to help bring awareness to our worlds' population about the important issues on our planet, through art. Each selected artist will attend for free, to mix progressive ideas within this critical thinking bouillabaisse of artists. A symposium of ‘Art for the betterment of the planet’ will commence in November of 2025.
Please stay tuned for more new creative developments…
