Fanny Bello

Creating characters through makeup has always been Fany Bello's purpose. Ever since she was a kid, with her forbearing brothers help -whom she used to transvestite relentlessly-began to practice her budding face transforming skills considering makeup as a powerful look changing tool. During her aesthetics studies, back in 96, she reaffirmed her passion: what Fany wanted was not to simply paint faces. Fany sought to tell stories, create characters and bring stories to life with the strokes of brushes and colors. To surpass the mere fact of considering skin as a canvas without a hint of fear about experimentation, investigation or risk. Convinced that eyebrows, cheekbones or lips provide as much information as a few lines of script, with her work Fany searches for meaning and gives a reason for each characterization. Her makeup choices have as much history as the character she's bringing to life: make up and character share the same story through her work where the makeup artist fades while the interpretation, as a whole, stands out. Influenced by David Bowie, John Waters, Tamara de Lempicka, Van Gogh, Modigliani or the Rococo style, Fany Bello, ultimately, fully serves her own fantasies in order to make fiction become a bit more real.
