The eurhythmies of the human body preoccupy him.  Babinski has spent many years studying the technics of the old masters such as William Bouguereau, Thomas Moran, and Albert Bierstadt.      Many have mistaken Babinski paintings as photographs because he surpasses the limitations of photography, incorporating his talent to breath life into his work.  Collectors around the world including many celebrities treasure his work in their private collections. Babinski is a rare and wonderful artist born with a natural gift and we are proud to represent his talent by offering "Golden Goddess".The original oil painting was completed over 25 years ago and is part of a private collection.  The dress itself was painted with 14 karat gold leaf and is truly spectacular.  The owner has consented to this fine art reproduction of the original, available now because of modern technology.  Golden Goddess is available to collectors as a Giclee on UV protected canvas in the original size of 36” X 72” (True to life size).  This portrait is so detailed you will feel as though you are standing face to face with Marilyn herself.  Without a doubt “Golden Goddess” is one of the finest portraits of the iconic star ever done by an artist.  Your portrait will be individually made to order on fine art canvas, then shipped to you unframed.  Each one is being produced and numbered as ordered beginning with the first one and that is what this purchase will be: NUMBER 1  Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for production and shipping.  When you receive your portrait; it will be up to you to stretch and frame it as you like.  Each Giclee will come with a certificate of authenticity signed and numbered by the artist. In order to commemorate her birth and her passing there will only be 262 pieces produced signed and numbered by Mr. Babinski.Marilyn was born June 1, 1926 and she passed on August 5, 1962 therefore the reason for 262 piecesI know a collector who has the Tom Kelley pose of Marilyn nude on red velvet with the Marilyn Merlot wine that matches it.  It made for a very beautiful display in his home. I have included a couple photos of the 1986 Marilyn Merlot wine just to give collectors something to think about.  My intention is to find a collector who might wish to display it with this magnificent portrait of Marilyn.  (The bottle of wine is not for sale).If you have questions about the artist or his body of work please feel free to direct your questions to TahoeQueen@Charter.net I will get back to you promptly.  If you are in the Lake Tahoe area and would like to see a final artist proof before you buy a numbered/signed edition let me know and I will make arrangements for it to be seen at one of our local fine art galleries by appointment.  Thank you for your consideration, let me know if I can be of service.  You may also call with inquires at 775-588-1776Email: TahoeQueen@Charter.netRamona Allen / Personal assistant Brian Babinski / Artist Place a Bid!
