The intention of my artwork is to dissociate beautiful naked female body from the “labelling” it as shameful and sluttish. I’ve started developing and expressing my ideas through a painting. I have a big passion for the oil painting and for me this is an art therapy, as I’m enjoying every brush movement and I’m letting my creativity flow. The reason why I’ve decided to reflect upon this theme, as this is what was making me think about a long time. The idea behind my painting, is to make viewer to see the naked body not as a sexualized and erotic object. Through my painting I’m trying to show body aesthetics, the joy of being naked and unashamed. Through my painting I don’t want to evoke feelings about desire from the opposite gender.

Being naked is unquestionably suppressed in our society and it has often been to the detriment of woman. With my works, I want to return freedom to love our bodies ecstatically.
