- Signature: Artist Statement I use the human form in my work as a means of exploring beauty, vulnerability, and truth. Yet while museums readily embrace nudes as art, contemporary venues often dismiss them as inappropriate or too erotic—even when intimacy is implied rather than revealed. This contradiction reveals much about the boundaries our culture continues to draw around art and the body. In a society that prides itself on open-mindedness—celebrating race, gender identity, and sexual diversity—we remain hesitant to confront the human form as a valid artistic subject. My work challenges this tension. Through abstraction, I invite viewers to reconsider what is deemed acceptable and why. For me, the nude is not about provocation but about honesty. It is a reminder that the body itself is timeless, universal, and worthy of reflection as art.
