Re-CONNECT Painting

My works served as a testing ground for experimentation with two extremes: sexuality and poetics. The paintings contain a symbiosis of a painted poetic space and a constructed intimate ME. The play of re-examining the boundaries of identity and the expression of sexuality is reached through an understated painted space in correlation with whiteness, which disallows the initial possibility of interpreting the painting as something explicit, pornographic. The body is present as a topic of research, but absent as a material object of analysis. By breaking up the form of the body and accenting just one of its parts in focus, there is a disruption in the traditional perception of sexuality and eroticism. The notions of sexuality and eroticism remain present but stop being the dominant conveyors of the theme.
