Viktor's Story


Welcome to Viktor’s colorful world!

I am Viktor and I am 17 years old. I do not speak and I am non verbal (this is how others characterize me). Mom says how she would love it if I answered her questions at least with YES and NO. But I'm not talking. I don't need to talk. Maybe that's why I'm special! I'm drawing. When I take a pencil, words come out of me, but instead of letters on the paper, a drawing appears. Instead of verbs, my drawing speaks, instead of nouns, my drawing is full of characters, animals, flowers, and instead of adjective, my drawing abounds in colors in different shades.

Imagine the thrill of hearing your name announced as the recipient of one of the most prestigious awards in the entertainment industry.

For Viktor, that dream became a reality as he received his first Emmy trophy at The 47th Boston-New England Emmy Awards at age of 15. His award-winning "Viktor's masterpiece", a story about Viktor and his achievements, was created by Chaos and Kindness/Recycled Percussion.

Uncovering Viktor's story: 

Viktor's compelling story has been widely covered by numerous television channels globally. The latest to feature his narrative was NBC6, which brought his story to life in a recent broadcast.

What does the media have to say?

Dive into the latest coverage and insights on this intriguing figure

A gifted young artist is taking social media by storm with his oil pastels of leaf-munching giraffes, basking butterflies, moonlit waterlilies, poignant portraits and soulful-eyed dogs and cats

With millions of followers what Viktor Bevanda is accomplishing with his striking use of color is extraordinary, especially when you consider that he's only 17.

Is he autistic or artistic?

Viktor was diagnosed with autism at age 5, about the same time his parents became aware of his emerging artistic talent. "It was heartbreaking knowing that he would be different from his peers," said Viktor's mother, Andrea. "But my husband, Boris, and I were committed to giving him every opportunity." 

As with many kids, his drawings over the years have been largely influenced by the cartoon characters he watched on TV.  And then at the height of the pandemic in 2020, Andrea, who homeschools her kids, decided to try something new.  "I wanted to see if I could channel his art into different directions, so I presented several pictures and asked him to choose one to draw.  The result was a miracle on paper," she said.  "What's also amazing is how effortlessly, nearly automatically he makes strokes and selects colors without hesitation or second-thoughts."

The breadth of his original works using oil pastels quickly expanded to lush landscapes, whimsical underwater scenes, sailboats on turbulent seas, fabulous animal art, including horses, eagles and flamingos -- even portraits of Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein and Marilyn Monroe.  

And while Viktor has no idea how much people love his art, Viktor’s mom says he appears happy when creating. "Our hope is that he has a future in art ahead of him."  And if the enthusiastic reaction to his work is any indication, that future is rapidly approaching. As one client of his art put it, 'He proves Autism is no barrier to creativity.  He has an extraordinary ability to focus on detail and understand how colors interact." 

We are committed to transparency in our use of funds 

All proceeds will be utilized to support Viktor's future, education, art supplies, and therapies. Moreover, on a monthly basis, we are donating to charitable causes and respond to requests (email:vichysart@gmail.com) for assistance from organizations and individuals in need.
