BIOGRAPHY
Paris-based painter of presence, gesture, and resonance.
Known for her large-scale portraits and nude studies, Fangyou Belleli captures not what is seen, but what trembles beneath: breath, memory, light, and soul. Painted live in 5, 10, or 20 minutes, her works are not performances of speed—but transmissions of presence.
Working in oil on translucent tracing paper, Belleli paints like one listening. Each stroke vibrates with what is about to vanish. Her practice is a ritual of movement and remembrance—born not from repetition, but from surrender.
Rooted in intuitive mastery and shaped by a life of radical transformation, her art is not a depiction.
It is a portal.
A shimmer.
A moment held in motion.

STATEMENT
“To paint is not to capture, but to surrender — to the breath of a moment,
the shimmer of presence, the frequency of the unseen.
My brush does not describe the world. It listens to it.”
— Fangyou Belleli
