Víctor Delfín found a profound source of inspiration in the pre-Columbian civilization, whose cultural legacy decisively shaped his creativity and was expressed across the many disciplines he practiced, including painting, sculpture, tapestry, mixed media and print making. His art embodies the symbolic and spiritual richness of his pre-Hispanic heritage while also integrating the vibrant aesthetics of Andean folk traditions.

He believed firmly in creative freedom and innovation. “One must have an abundance of criteria in the act of creation,” he affirmed — a principle reflected in the dynamic, expressive, and emotionally intense character of his work. At the same time, in Lima he created emblematic works such as The Immigrants, and País de Mierda  in which he used Dora as a model, as well as the bronze sculpture El General, a satire of military power in Peru at that time. His public statements and politically oriented works established Delfín as a highly influential and voice in contemporary Peruvian art, distinguished by his focus on human rights and his support of cultural institutions.
