The Tattoo - Painting Blue Green Grey Brown Orange Yellow White Black Pink
Located in Sofia, BG
"The Tattoo" is a painting by Maestro Edele Bessy - MABILLOT GRANDJEAN GENEVIEVE
The painting is unframed.
Her paintings bring emotion of happiness, love, energy and beauty represented by the vast creative power of her talent.”
Dear art lovers,
if you like the art of maestro Bessy, please click the link to follow this artist and art gallery Snow Pearl to discover all our artists and beautiful artworks.
Thank you so much! we appreciate your interest to our work.
Maestro Edele Bessy was born on August 7, 1946. Self-taught painter since 1982. At first she mainly worked in miniature on ivory, which she then abandoned in favor of oil painting.
New beings appear unconsciously on his canvases taking on the dimension of a wandering crowd, mostly women whose eyes arise and challenge us with ever so much acuity.
Maestro Bessy paints in a very personal, constantly evolving style.
