Body I (Essence)

Body was the part I was most excited to work on. I’ve always wanted to paint women’s bodies, and this felt like the right context to finally do it. I loved the process of exploring different shapes, weights, postures, presences. I’m sure many bodies are still missing, but these were the ones that appeared through my hands.

I wanted to paint them because they are beautiful. Because the body is what makes us physical beings. It’s not secondary or superficial. It’s fundamental. It’s how we exist in the world.
