Leina Callipyge Painting

Through my painting, I explore an aspect of the feminine sexuality: exhibtionism. My paintings express intimate and bold feelings of women. Everything began quite casually. One day, a woman asked if she might be my model for a nude portrait. She did not want money, only to know that people would look at the painting. It was her pleasure. So I painted her in a pose that expressed her sexuality. We met several times. Then a friend of hers contacted me... and so on up to today. Even in these modern times, sex continues being a disturbing topic. It is taboo. Hardly any galleries want to exhibit my paintings, due to the erotic content. And so I have shown my work at alternative fairs and venues. Both my models and I have been insulted and despised. I do not care. For me, feminine exhibitionism is fascinating. And I feel proud of my art which honors the sexuality of my models and materializes into a painting: an erotic fantasy. In strict confidence, I accept commissions of nude paintings and erotic portraits. I do not ask for applause or understanding. I only ask for respect.
