Estudou pintura no Liceu de Artes e Ofícios do Rio de Janeiro, onde fez sua primeira exposição. Participou de vários concursos de pintura, sendo diversas vezes premiado.

Por volta de 1987 começou a observar a cidade. Seu trabalho então passou a retratar a vida urbana, com a força das cores do pastel sobre o papel e da tinta sobre a tela. O trânsito e as ruas são sua marca registrada, quando transforma fumaça, barulho, engarrafamentos e faróis em arte. A exposição Cores em Trânsito , em 2005, consolidou sua inspiração no urbano.

Born in Belo Horizonte, in 1957, J.Victtor lives in Rio de Janeiro. Grandchild, son, nephew and brother of photographers, he couldn't help drawing and painting, even having started professional life at his father's studio.

Studies on painting were at "Liceu de Artes e Ofícios do Rio de Janeiro", where his first exhibition took place. On his way, many were the competitions and the prizes.

When year 1987 came, his eyes were already focusing the city. His work became urban life itself. Strong colors of chalk over paper and tints on canvas. Streets full of traffic are his trade mark, when smoke, noise, lights and jams become art. By 2005, Transit Colors exhibition consolidated his inspiration in urban life.
