About The Artwork
I used sepia pastel on brown paper for its lovely warm intimate feel and for the way it subtly suggests human skin and its softer contrasts. As far back as I can remember I've always wondered why the female nude is a subject as frequent as still life while the male nude figures only occasionally throughout the history of art. (except for Ancient Greece perhaps). Male nudes are inspiring to explore and offer an interesting variety of shapes and lines, which I enjoy. Furthermore, as an artistic gesture I find the reversal of the traditional genders of artist and model to be intriguing in itself, as drawing is a means of taking into possession, it is a virile, even predatory gesture and yet the gaze is symbolically considered female - the gaze of Gorgon turning men into stone. A feminist gesture? In a way, and yet it is a glorification of male beauty.

Romania
Maria I. Oancea is an artist who simply adores playing with the sensorial quality of art. Suggestion is both her mastery and one of her greater joys. Another is the human form, the organic lines and structures of motion and of life. The irresistible irrepressible feeling of life pulsating within. Her works dwell on the fragile and voluptuous tension between content and form. Her main purpose, wish and challenge is to test art's possibility to produce enthusiasm - a brutal and tempestuous desire to live. It is therefore a Dionysian art that captures and merges and draws on one aspect that is Apollonian: the figurative. Maria I. Oancea's works and style have been associated with those of Francis Bacon, Toulouse Lautrec and Ernst Kirchner, influences that she finds extremely honoring.
