Artist’s Statement:
Drawing is the magic that occurs in the one thousand miles from the image in my head to the strokes I place on the paper.
I see life drawing as the muscle and bone of figurative art. Regardless of its size or shape, the human body is an endless form of beauty. It is in this venue that the artist can express feelings of power, force, motion, and decadence through the composition and placement of a line. In all its elegance, mastery of the human form allows the artist to be flexible and creative interpreting and executing his ideas.
I use the human figure in my work to express emotional ideas or illustrations through exaggeration and/or distortion, its placement and pose. My objective is not to copy the figure of the model before me, but to examine it and use it in another context.
Drawing is one of the most intrinsic aspects of art as it is often reveals how the artist sees the world. My inspiration and appreciation for drawing the human form come from my study and fascination with the masters and their perspective of the human figure.

Bessouet, born in Argentina, schooled in Argentina, London and in Italy, where she was able to look to the works of the Old Masters for inspiration. She refers to the artists of the Italian quattrocento along with Velazquez and El Greco as her muses, and traces of these historic artists shine through in her paintings. Her work is in numerous private and public collections throughout the world. Bessouet's art focused primarily around portraits, domesticity and the female nude.
In the original print, SELVAGGIA, Norma Bessouet merges certain Latin American strands of literary magic realism with Surrealism and presents a portrait of an androgynous seated figure, with bald head, serene facial expression, wearing a full length ombre shaded robe, cradling a large, long-beak bird. Ms. Bessouet's sensitive, masterly drawing expresses a fantasy doll...
