Bride

Boris Valeggio is a contemporary fantasy artist. And he is undoubtedly the most outstanding artist in this direction. His paintings depict fairy-tale characters against the backdrop of fantastic landscapes. Perhaps Boris Valeggio is the best master in the field of drawing beautiful male and female bodies. The bodies of the people in his paintings are perfect. It was he who several years ago made fantastic painting not just comic, but part of real art, many of his works have already become classics. But his real homeland gave him a lot - few people know that this famous artist hails from Peru. Born in Lima, the son of a successful lawyer, he studied the violin diligently for seven years. Then it was replaced by medicine, which Boris studied carefully and with concentration for two years. Subsequently, this professional knowledge of human anatomy was useful to him as an artist. Painting replaced anatomy. Already at the age of 16 he was invited to study painting in sunny Italy. But soon he commits an act simply stunning to teachers and relatives - he leaves for the USA. He has only 80 dollars in his pocket, poor knowledge of English, lack of acquaintances in this country and only an album with his still unknown (and unnecessary) works to anyone here. Soon he discovers the fantasy genre - "I have always been distinguished by a special love for the perfection of the structure of the human body, and fantasy allowed me to depict muscular and sensual bodies in all variations in all my works ... I always try to draw them as beautiful and perfect as possible" ... These words exhaustively characterize the style of Valeggio. Everyone knows the famous paintings of Valeggio, as if resembling giant photographs taken in distant fantastic worlds, but Valeggio did not become a "star" of fantasy "from scratch" - before these works he made more than three hundred book covers. among which were such popular series as "Tarzan" and "Conan". Those few who accuse Valejo's work of excessive eroticism simply underestimate the beauty of the human body, which is one of the pinnacles of evolution on planet Earth. It is no coincidence that the ancient Incas, whose descendant he is, considered beauty to be a gift from the gods, and their descendant Valejo only “strengthened” the rest of the modern world in this opinion.
