He is the grandson of celebrated Haitian bandleader Issa El-Saieh, who amassed the largest private collection of Haitian art. His family now runs the El-Saieh Gallery that has frequent visitors during weekends by appointment. The Haitian artist discusses his current works a year on from his opening of Historical Precedence and the present state of the El-Saieh Gallery in Port-au-Prince. He has recently been commissioned by a private collector and speaks about his new works being commissioned. The gallery housed many well-known Haitian artists who worked and painted on the grounds. Viktor El-Saieh is currently the only artist painting there.
