Franco Belli

Franco Belli

"In fact, back at school I used to be very shy, but through my paintings the others kids my age got to know me and I became popular… especially with the girls!"

"I was born and raised in the department of Apurimac, where my parents where artisans. When I finished high school I... moved to Lima to study art, first at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, and then at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes, where I received the silver medal for second place in 1990.

"That same year I decided to become a professional artist and exhibit my work for others to see. In fact, back at school I used to be very shy, but through my paintings the others kids my age got to know me and I became popular… especially with the girls!

"Back then I had another hobby, which was making my own toys, kites, cars, etc. I still make them, but these ones are for my own children.

"My style of painting is free of '-isms.' In other words, absolute freedom rules in every sense of the word: from the materials (oils, acrylics, mixed media) and techniques, to the themes. I don't fit into a specific style, even when I do something that is figurative I'll add other creative details which the viewer appreciates through a second glance.

"The motivation behind my art is manifold — it comes from a need to communicate, to show beauty through painting and I cannot deny the chromatic or commercial motivation that nowadays pervades the world of art such as consumer objects. What better way to do it as a way of life through something you enjoy doing?

"I try to convey my feelings, my vision of life and of the world through my paintings, and if I paint with sincerity I believe I will have achieved my objective. Art, to me, is an aesthetic means of expression that is sublime and pure.

"I have exhibited my work collectively and individually in Peru as well as in Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama, Costa Rica, Canada, Austria and Brazil. Exhibiting internationally is a great source of pride, but it is also challenging because it takes me away from my family, sometimes for long periods of time.

"Shoppers are the best judges of one's work, so I invite you to check out Novica, as you will find many options. That said, I would like to thank you through this medium."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

WIN # 1 You Save!

By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.
