Tender. Oil. 2024-2023
In my new series, I turn to the body and corporeality. Understanding the body as a sexual object, as something both frightening and exciting at the same time, attractive and repulsive. By transforming its outlines, introducing my elements, changing bends, adding folds and holes, while preserving its general visuality within the bounds of perception, I offer the viewer a different corporeality in form, but very familiar in content.
Each new piece of work becomes a revelation for me, allowing me to overcome the previous boundaries of perceiving corporeality. Regardless of how much the outlines change, what new shapes and bends appear - the body remains the body. Questions arise: What is corporeality? What can we consider an object of sexuality? Where does disgust begin and why do we perceive the same image differently?
Tender. Watercolor. 2023
To create these works, I chose the technique of oil and watercolor. This choice was dictated by the fact that such a method allows achieving a delicate and soft layering, working sequentially, creating delicate transitions from light to shadow, leaving the image free from dense layering and impasto. This becomes yet another harmonious way of exploring the theme of corporeality in my art.
