This one is my version of a painting by my all time favorite artist Boris Vallejo. I painted this when I was 9 months pregnant and anxious to give birth to our son. No only do I love this image but it hold lots of memories which mean a lot to me. And since Boris has been my inspiration for the longest time I am thankful to him for giving me permission to post this one. "By permission,copyright Boris Vallejo"

Another Boris fan :) Awesome job!!James Battersby 25 Sep 2006
Amazing work Renata. I like Boris also, and Julie Bell....their artwork is incredible and confuses me endlessly as it's so detailed and realistic. I also like Greg and Tim Hildebrandt, Joe Jusko and Glen Fabry to name a few. It's cool we share some of the same influences.....once again, Awesome work;)Cathy Holford 14 Jul 2006

Excellent representation !Greg Joens 19 Oct 2005
Ive been a long time fan of Boris Vallejo. It takes an incredible amount of discipline to be the king of fantasy art. What is even more amazing is his rigorous routine to maintain physically fit. I remember when he could have been the model for any of his paintings.C DeMaio 06 Oct 2005
Renata, To choose one over so many, what a challenge that is. But out of all of them this one piece has symbolic meaning to me. To me it reminds me of a Higher Power, God, Thor, Buda etc&.Holding the weight of the world on his shoulder while battling the never ending battles of todays world. I love the anatomy and the use of complementary colors. Great Job!! CynRichard Santos 21 Jul 2005
Wonderful tribute. I was also inspired by Boris (and the great Frazetta...) even after I 'found' my own style. I still enjoy his work immensely. And there is much an artist can learn by reproducing one of his pieces. Beautifully done...Emily Reed 25 Jun 2005
