Item Description

Victoria Montesinos was born in Mexico and is the only daughter of the well-known movie director, Fernando A. Rivero, and Maty Humana. By the time Victoria was twelve she had the opportunity to paint with Jose Bardasano, the great Spanish painter who had arrived in Mexico as a refugee from the Spanish Civil War. She studied with Bardasano for five years. In late 1983, Victoria moved to New York to work with one of the largest galleries in the United States to study developing high quality lithographic works. During that period, Victoria's talent became widely recognized in the US. Victoria decided to return to Mexico in the late 1980's. She worked ardently in her homeland and developed an outstanding new style. Through her oil paintings and serigraphs on textiles she gained fame and recognition. In the mid-1990's, Victoria signed new contracts to work with various galleries in the United States. Vicky Montesinos executed her idea brilliantly through her magnificent brush, great skill, and abundant creative passion.

This lithograph, entitled " Dama Misteriosa" is signed by Montesinos, is numbered 72/300 and is triple matted and framed in a unique, asymmetrical style with a black lacquered frame. It comes with a sheet of documentation from Circle Fine Art. It measures 43" x 34.5".
