I reject all decorations that is why I reject clothing on my figures – the decorative element is totally absent in my work – it is the stark truth. I focus on the nude for the sheer beauty of the body for me it is much more vulgar to highlight or expose certain areas of the body – because there should be no distractions. My work is not about sexuality – I like the human body when light falls upon it and modulates the form, the tonalities. It stimulates and inspires me.
