Artwork Description

Other Media on paper

Signed on the front.

The figure stands powerfully in an upright position, the heart showing through her chest.
I have avoided once again the representation of the head or the arms removing any given identity, further exploring the fragility and strength of the human form.

In my paintings about the human figure, I explore different ways to represent what I understand as being human and I am interested in concepts and ideas that touch us all; fertility, growth, and puberty.
In my practice, my preferred mode of expression is drawing and through recent years I have developed a unique technique that allows me to create very precise lines on the surface layer of the painting using an etching needle and a special wax-based painting medium. Often layer upon layer of drawings receding into the substrate of the painting medium. This way of working allows a more free approach to painting and at the same time a very detailed working practice.
