Categories Women Portraits

This sensual diptych, each part measuring 75x55 cm, embodies my vision of minimalism in erotic art: the fewer the details, the stronger the emotion. These elegant pieces are my exploration of the fine line between sensuality and the power of touch. In my work, I always strive to convey the depth of emotions through minimalism, allowing the viewer to feel the energy of the moment in every stroke.

Two female portraits, where the woman’s face becomes the center of an intense dialogue with a man’s hand. The touch here is a language of its own, expressing ion, dominance, and desire.

Red lips, a symbol of love and longing, enhance the tension of the composition, standing out as a striking color accent against the black-and-white graphic elements.

Exploring the theme of erotic art, I portray sexuality not through obvious imagery but through details—delicate lines, touches, and the interplay of light and shadow. These watercolor and charcoal works reflect that fleeting moment when the boundaries between two individuals dissolve, leaving only ion.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Charcoal

Drawing made with a branch of Willow or charcoal of charred Europe. It enables to obtain very deep blacks, precise traces, thin or on the contrary very broad, depending on the way it is used.

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on s such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
