Victor Henrique Fidelis é um artista plástico de São Paulo, Brasil. Ele é formado em Arquitetura e Urbanismo pela Universidade de São Paulo e é um artista autodidata que vem desenvolvendo sua linguagem artística desde os 15 anos de idade. Ele explorou diversas técnicas de desenho, incluindo grafite, lápis de cor, caneta esferográfica e hidrográfica, e, mais recentemente, a tinta acrílica, que é atualmente sua principal técnica.
Suas obras abordam questões que intersectam com as experiências de corpos racializados no Brasil, explorando temas como o desconforto de conformar-se com normas pré-estabelecidas pela sociedade, a busca pela autoconsciência entre indivíduos negros, a riqueza e potencial da identidade afro-brasileira, e o poder de cura ao abraçar narrativas relacionadas à própria identidade diante da violência e do apagamento.
Fidelis participou da exposição coletiva “Brasil Futuro”, realizada no Museu Nacional da República (DF). Além disso, ele participou de feiras de arte tanto no Brasil quanto internacionalmente, incluindo a ArtRio, SP-Arte e a 1-54 Art Fair em Londres e Marrocos.
