Worth 1000...


There is saying which goes a picture is worth a 1000 words, yes indeed, but after seeing Boris Vallejo's work i believe the saying should be further extended to a say good paintings are worth a 1000 photographs. Man!!! he is amazing. He sure deserves some credits. Some info about the artist below


Boris Vallejo: Born in Lima, Peru, Boris attended the National School of Fine Arts in his native country before immigrating to the United States in 1964. He has since done a great volume of work for the Fantasy field, having worked for virtually every major publishing house with a science fiction/fantasy line. Boris has also illustrated for album covers, video box art and motion picture advertising.

His mastery of oil painting is immediately and abundantly clear to anyone who looks at his work, and his classic sense is as much an homage to the old masters as it is to anyone contemporaneously working in the Fantasy genre.
For sheer dauntless bravura, few have ever pushed the limits as does Boris with his beautiful maidens and fearsome monsters.
