Skin I

There are moths in the six paintings in the series. Moths are a simple continuation of infantas, or girls in crinolines whom I started to paint in 2010. Moths have unbelievable dresses: velvet ones, trailing, with multiple patterns, hairy... They are fairy-tale like and mysterious, but at the same time extremely erotic. In the “Skin” series I am concentrating on the surface of the canvas in order to give it the attributes of the skin, such as freckles, dots, little veins, hair… and smoothness. I use mainly pencils and crayons, which help me come in close contact with the surface of the canvas.
