Belen Velasco is a London based self-thought artist born in a small town in Mexico, she moved to the city with her family when she was six years old and she lived there most of her life. Living in a country full traditions, colour, darkness and beauty she was inspired and that is part of the definition of her style. She studied fashion design where she started working with different textiles and textures which now she uses in some of her art pieces. For her painting is transferring thoughts to colour and life, feminine figures are one of her basic elements, limitless expression, beauty, sexuality, shame are their words. Their stories. Mixed materials, wood, thread, different kind of fabrics, wires and plastics. Splicing her work so as to create organic progression, texture. Inspiration and artistic creation is a mysterious energy, a magic, it exists without limitation. It is a moment that allows her to be alive, a part of life and to feel existence as part of a larger organism. Her goal is to offer thought, an invitation to create a story, to ignite passion and to provoke emotion and share in the inspiration of those who she come into contact with through her art.
