A los dieciocho años realizó su primera exposición individual en la galería N'Art de Zaragoza, que fue también la primera muestra de escultura al aire libre celebrada en esa ciudad. Poco después se traslada a Madrid, donde expone en 1973 en la galería Pol Verdié. Durante sus años en la capital asistió a los Encuentros de Pamplona, donde conoció a John Cage. Dos años más tarde, en 1974, Ana María Canales publica su libro "Víctor Mira, eres mi pintor preferido". En 1975 viaja a Heidelberg, donde reside cinco meses, y ese mismo año publica "El libro de las dos hojas". En 1976 comienza a trabajar en Alemania en sus series "Spanische Haltung" y "Manos". Tras pasar un tiempo entre Madrid y Alemania, en 1977 se instala en Barcelona. Allí inicia su ciclo de pinturas "Interiores catalanes con tomate", y en 1979 publica su primer libro de poemas, "El bienestar de los demonios". Ese mismo año realiza su primera exposición individual en Munich, en la galería Tanit, y al año siguiente expone en Estados Unidos, en la galería George Staempfli de Nueva York. A partir de entonces su carrera internacional despega, con exposiciones en Alemania, Estados Unidos, Holanda, Suiza, Suecia, Noruega, Colombia, Francia, Bélgica y Austria, mientras continúa exponiendo regularmente en España. En 1983 viajó por primera vez a Estados Unidos, invitado por el Meadows Museum de Dallas, y ese mismo año trabajó en los talleres de grabado de la Southern Methodist University de Dallas y pasó cinco meses en Nueva York. También en 1983, en Barcelona, realiza su primera serie de esculturas de hierro, "Cultura del arco" y "Mediodías". En 1997 fue invitado a participar en la Bienal de Arte de Nueva York por Amy Chaiklin, y seis años más tarde, poco antes de su muerte, recibió el premio al mejor artista español vivo en la Feria ARCO.
