facade - it gains a mysterious, profound beauty all of its own.
The female and male figures depicted in the works often reveal themselves unveiled in the broadest sense:
I am concerned in these works with 'nudity' in the sense of the unadulterated, beyond euphemistic, (teasing)
and especially beyond the universally aspired to flawlessness. My interest is in the beauty of the human body
human body, which is undoubtedly subject to transience.
