Belle de Sang (Beauty of Blood) - Original Mixed Media Painting

Belle de Sang is a hauntingly sensual portrait, layered with symbolism and tactile beauty. A woman’s gaze cuts through splashes of red—around her green eyes, in the flower at her temple, and dripping from her neck like blood. French poetry flows along one edge of the canvas, while torn newspaper and the hand-painted phrase “la vie est belle” ground the right side. A sparkly earring and a glossy epoxy layer heighten the work’s tension between elegance and raw emotion. This is beauty that bleeds, yet never breaks.
