World Renowned Painter
To begin with, Edward Belsky is an internationally recognized artist. His paintings have been exhibited and sold in many famous galleries. Born and educated in Ukraine, he graduated from the Ukrainian Academy of Art in 1991. Then comes a period of traveling the world, living, and painting in different places across the globe. Also, he has spent decades in Paris and Venice, and 8 years in Slovenia. And with every experience gaining more and more layers to his skill.
Upon our first meeting, he has taught me a valuable lesson about art. Once he came to our gallery with an unfinished portrait he was making during his stay on the island of Brač. I couldn’t see the beauty in it, to me it was just unfinished, and to him, it was only a matter of time, strokes, and genius until the beauty caught in the canvas become apparent to everybody. When I saw it the next time it was one of the finest pieces of art I have ever seen!
“In all of us there are layers that we like, and the ones we don’t. The last time you saw the painting there was the one you don’t like, but the beautiful layer was right under it. I just had to bring it up to the surface, even now there is still the ugly one, only this time it is the one that’s right behind” were his words that day.
