Figurative painting using silk, satin and shape as a theme to grace the female form. As an artist, my mind is filled with sensual images from the past—fragments of romantic interludes often imagined in cinematic settings, staged with candlelight, flowers, and props. These scenes create atmosphere, setting the stage for the mood of my paintings. Such memories compel me to capture their essence and to celebrate feminine beauty. The series Silk, Satin and Shape echoes the wonder of youth and the enduring mystery of the feminine. As a teenager, I encountered many questions and emotions, often clouded by innocence and curiosity. The excitement of a first girlfriend, with its mix of mystery and confusion, marks an early challenge for young people as they learn to balance desire with restraint and respect.
