Leonor Fini (1907-1996) was an Argentine-Italian-French painter, printmaker, set and costume designer, best known for her surrealist art, which often explored themes of femininity, eroticism and mythology. She was self-taught and became a part of the Paris art world, where she made connections with the likes of Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí and Pablo Picasso. Fini excelled in the surrealist movement, creating paintings in which strong, mysterious women often dominated the narrative, a reflection of her fascination with female power.The fixtures shown in the visuals are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute a commercial offer.
