For over twenty-seven years, Victor Ţapu has been making his living through his creativity. From stage designing to painting, sculpting and portrait commissions, his work has found its way into prestigious private and state collections in United States, Romania, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany, Israel, Brazil and as well as Canada, Holland and Sweden.
Deciding during early childhood that painting and theater would be his life's work, Victor Ţapu began formal training at age thirteen in his native town of Bacau, Romania. He later received his Master of Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest, Romania and supplemented his education with studies at Szajna Theater Studio in Warsaw, Poland.
Victor Ţapu served as a Stage Designer for many theaters in Romania, including the C. Tanase Music Hall and the Dramatic Theater in Brasov, Romania. He worked as a Director Designer for more than twenty movies with the Studio Picture Co. in Bucharest, Romania. Since coming to the US in 1990 as an outstanding artist, Victor developed his own Fine Arts Company in Houston, Texas.
An European artist with a Romanian accent and a Texas stride, Victor Ţapu enjoys the view of Europe from Texas. He now calls Texas home.
