Dimitri Vojnov had always a strong interest for the great painters of art history and Renaissance, such as Piero della Francesca or Hans Holbein. He uses as a background coloring an intense cobalt blue that is a reference to the Renaissance period.

Undoubtedly his work shows his long term classical academic education in painting which fascinates with provocative and erotic illustrations, which often are exaggerated in a grotesque way.

Dalila Del Valle, 1958 | Body painter

Dalila is absolutely a painter of great recognition, unequivocal quality of the possession of an own style, characterized by beautiful faces and naked figures that, simultaneously are covered by incredible tattoos on the skin.

To these two conditions it would be necessary to add two more other: the exclusive feature of the technique and the own culture of the city or country where it exposes his works, changing the reason for its tattoos.

Nobody like her to know how to impregnate of its personality and enormous technical capacity its works and orders.
