Victor Faccinto Born 1945 Seduction and repulsion, love and lust, good and evil are the tensions that permeate Faccinto’s work. His compositions are obsessive in their orchestration. His allegiance to bright, vibrant colors belies the sometimes disturbing subject matter, and maintains a level of humorous irreverence that is integrated throughout the work.
