Victor Spahn was born on March 20, 1949 in Paris to Russian parents. After his secondary studies, he worked for a fabricator of mosaics, and for pleasure, composed his first mosaic wall. His painting and printmaking are a direct result of his extensive work in mosaic techniques. His style suggests movement and dynamism in the subjects that he portrays and they appear to capture the essence of movement in a particular moment. Spahn has participated in many exhibitions, including the Salon of Indepenent Artists, France, in 1970. He also won first prize in New York for a mosaic table. Personal exhibitions followed in Paris in 1976 for the Societe Toyota; Galerie Wally Findlay, Chicago and Palm Beach, Florida, in 1984. Spahn has enjoyed the publication of a hardcover book on his work, and his serigraph "Autumn Polo" was aquired by Jacques Chirac, President of France.
