Alicia Besada

My work is mostly about the female body. By painting the skin, that border between a person and everything around, I try to convey emotion, essence. What is inside transpires, sometimes the skin may be a battleground between what you want to keep for yourself and what comes to the surface anyway. Restraint and pleasure. The body and its language.
