Before completion. After completion. ( How my mother was conceived) Print

I have been gathering old photographs trying to translate their decadent atmosphere into the realm of painting. The couple shown on the left are my grandparents. The couple on the right is anonymous. It belongs to a series of erotic photos from the past. I've painted the two photographs next to each other in the look for a narrative or conceptual associations. The conventional posture of my grand parents posing for the camera is followed by a grotesque sex scene from the erotic vintage series. I laugh at the idea of convention and animality inhabiting the same surface. I have conceived the painting focusing on the body postures before and during intimacy. My mother sees this painting which portrays a photo of her parents as the moment when she was conceived. In that sense I see great beauty in it.
