I think, mcdoubt has been a bit drunk, lately (and I know, he’s lost his password in the meantime, so, good by mcdoubt), but I would say, he’s not so wrong anyway; for everybody who’s got time to look a bit closer: for example “Bermudes – 2005 / Image 10 of 31″, which you can find in the portfolio under “2005-06 – Autoportraits / Self-portraits” (second row, image 6), you can see birthmarks on Mrs Rezos back, which of course she could have put there, but did she really? There are lots of examples like this, little “mistakes” you make, processing a photo into a “drawing”; Of course I can only guess how Mrs Rezo works exaktly, at least those huge eyes seem to be “painted” freely, but mainly she “photoshops” photos, and her “making of” is just a fake; Velasquez?(lol) (http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/v/velazque/)

I love her work, she’s just so gifted.
She does paintings from the 21century with the tools that exist, as painters from before painted from their time and place.

I love her work. I donÂ´t agree with other writers like Patternjuggler and mcdoubt. Photoshop canÂ´t do the things sho do. It’s such a great difference between the machine and the human hand and mind. And if you can’t see the difference it’s a pity. Of course she’s an artist. An artist with great skills both in observing, in thought, in composition, light, color and painting. I’d love to be able to make things like that.

Jeah, Mr. del4yo, right, Velasquez, no doubt… Who, as we both know, never began to draw without having a tiny apple and a Z fixed on the left side of his palette, gently caressing these each time he thought, something had gone wrong, a brushstroke wouldn’t fit, etc… Now, poor Velasquez, wrong century, it didn’t work once… That he nevertheless has left us some of the most wonderful paintings of art history seems to be a good reason to call him an artist… And it seems to be an even better reason NOT to call somebody who, with all the help, photoshop offers, just manages to (nicely) do the job of a copy machine, an artist as well…
Hmmm, sorry for my terrible shool english… And santÃ©, Mr. del4yo, ex manager, i bet you ____ the artist, don’t you? Oooo, wow, wait a minute, now I know, you ARE the artist, right? Because it looks so much less fishy to paint all those sexy little girls in bathtubes or showing off armpit etc. if you are a woman…

As Cali Rezo ex manager on “Immortels ,and reading the comments, I think maybe I should give some details about a few things I know about the artist?
She began to paint highly realistic character textures for 3D characters. She is truly one of the best artists I ever had in my teams…Then she used her truly amazing skills to paint with references, OK, but she always insert in her paintings some other elements, or put her characters in another context. I would say the concept is very close from the way Velasquez used to work : using her vision of reality to give a message.
