Statement
|
|
It is true that women's magazines and advertising, mostly, requires us a certain "photoshoped" female cannon, made to caress the collective unconscious.
Today, to enter this diktat of beauty, a woman must be skinny and the limit of thinness
In contrast to this, in my imaginary fantasy, I give back to women's body shapes and generous callipygian they are entitled to claim and that many men expect. Then, of course, I exaggerate and I play those forms according to my wishes.
In dream, nightmare or other fantasy, more attention to detail, the more fantasy seems real. That is why I attach great importance to work hyperrealism of my paintings to make my real body unlikely.
Finally, if the female sex has some significance in my paintings is that it has its own beauty, which is never used in paint. And away from pornography, I try to make a new agreement to our Judeo Christians eyes.
