"The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the minf itself is unknown."
(René Magritte)



RenĂ© Magritte (Lessines, 1898 – Brussels, 1967), was one of the most original surrealist painters in Europe. He was called le saboteur tranquille because of the capacity of his images to insinuate doubt on reality, through the portrait of reality itself in his works. Its aim was to approach the mistery behind what we see, without trying to define it.

My goal is never to copy.
Create a new style, clear luminous colors and feel the elegance of the models.
(Tamara de Lempicka)





The one and only Ms. Tamara de Lempicka (Warsaw, 16/05/1898 - Cuernavaca, 18/03/1980) was an ecclectic and original painter who managed to bacome a millionaire thanks to her visionary spirit and uniquely sophisticated way of portraying. A declared bisexual, multilingual speaker, became the most famous interpreter of the 20's and 30's "craziness".
