"Reclining Ladies"
"Reclining Ladies"
This collection is inspired by paintings and sculptures that portray reclining female figures. The beauty of a nude female body and the curves of it was an inspiration of many artists in the past and still is. Titian's 'Verus of Urbino', Goya's 'Majas', Velazquez 's 'The Rokeby Venus' , Moore's abstracted, sculpted reclining figures and more recently Emin Tracey's drawings are among the works that influenced my collection. Fernando Botero who is known for his voluptuous and exaggerated paintings, sculptures and drawings, gave me the idea to draw "my ladies" curvaceous and erotic.
