Sensuous pleasure was taken in painting of the figures. The sheer nakedness of my subjects is
representational of women in need of attention, love and support. On the same level, my conceptualizations deduce more than what meets the naked eye. It is looking into the deepest recesses of the human heart, a heat that is consumed with vulnerability, defencelessness and susceptibility; however, there lurks a strength and empowerment within these women that surpasses all sadness, weakness and failure. At the same time, I confidently and decisively attempt to bring alive the female form, portraying them in a fashion synonymous with sophistication class, elegance, lust sensuality, charisma, inner and outer strength and most importantly
a sexuality worth displaying. The tasteful use of metallic on the figure seeks to achieve this.
Embedded in the work lies a profound craving for beauty to be appreciated, of the woman to
be treated fairly, and of the woman to be loved and wanted by someone.
