Boris Vallejo Science Fantasy Art Paintings

Boris Vallejo is an American painter, immigrated to the United States in 1964, and he currently resides in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He frequently works with Julie Bell, his wife, painter, and model. Boris Vallejo art is never schematic, flat or lifeless. Unlike any other fantasy artist, he keeps finding more and more ways of tantalizing his public. 

His inventiveness and versatility seem to know no bounds. In fact he has not left a single domain of fantasy art untouched. Boris is as familiar with the heroic postures of barbarian warriors as with the poetic ambience of a mysteriously romantic landscape o the frightening sight of bizarre creatures from an alien world. I hope you like these Boris Vallejo Science fantasy art paintings.

As a Science fiction art, Vallejo works almost exclusively in the fantasy and erotica genres. His hyper-representational paintings have graced the covers of dozens of science fiction paperbacks and are featured in a series of best-selling glossy calendars. 

Subjects of his paintings are typically gods, monsters, and well-muscled male and female barbarians engaged in battle. Some of his male figures were modeled by Vallejo himself, and many of his later female characters were modeled by his wife. His latest works still retain heavy fantasy elements, but lean more towards the erotic rather than pure fantasy themes. For more information visit the site http://www.frazettagirls.com/  

Study of Pen and Ink Illustrator

Boris Vallejo was born on January 8, 1941 in Lima, Peru. His father was a well-known solicitor. Vallejo's original interest was in the violin. He took violin lessons for seven years. After playing violin for much of his early years, Vallejo quit and decided to pursue medical studies. After studying medicine for two years, he dropped out and applied to Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes. He received a scholarship to study Pen and Ink illustrator here for five years. He quickly showed promise as an artist.

Pen and Ink Illustrator for a Retail Store

Real life can be just as magical as fantasy. Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell are powerhouses in the art world, specifically in the fantasy genre.

Bell has painted the covers for approximately 100 fantasy and science fiction books and magazines, video game packaging, trading cards for Marvel and DC Comics and a sculpture series produced by The Franklin Mint. Vallejo has been an equally major force illustrating album covers, books, Comic Art, video box art and motion picture advertising. The two have been married since 1994.

But while the subjects of their work may exist in faraway places, they are actually created right here in the Lehigh Valley. Bell and Vallejo paint in their own personal studio set in the quaint space of their home in Allentown.

Boris Vallejo is a Peruvian born fantasy artist and illustrator. Growing up Boris always had an interest in Comic Art; however, the interest first manifested in music. After playing the violin for a few years he picked up the paintbrush.

He packed up and headed to America to chase his dream of becoming a famous artist. He didn't speak English and had mere cents to his name, but still he went out to make it in New York City. He lived in a poor area of the Bronx and eventually got a job as a Pen and Ink illustrator for a retail store. His big break came from the sketches of fantasy barbarian warriors like Tarzan and Conan. This gave him the springboard to launch a lucrative freelance career in the fantasy art genre.
