The female figures that emerge through the decorative space of the canvases, interacting harmoniously with its flora and fauna, are at once a source of aesthetic pleasure and a symbol of sensuality, the boundlessness of potential pleasure, passion, and love. The exhibition includes painting and graphic works of the last few years, demonstrating the charismatic artist’s journey:
“Life flows like water, extinguishing fire and moving past land. Life is a woman’s powerful word. Life carries in it pain, joy, disappointment, hope, love... it’s easy to bind her in the fetters of one’s thoughts, but much harder to allow oneself to understand the sense of freedom at any given moment, even a difficult one.
The ropes of shibari are the symbol of the fetters and the freedoms of circumstance. The water of life is expressed through the beautiful women in the canvases. Three multi-panel works – three different girls. The first is bound tightly, she wants to be exactly where she is, and she can hardly breathe from the pleasure. The second one has the head of a blue bird. She holds in her hands and beak a rope, tightly bound but free, free to control her own freedom. She has a freedom of choice. The sketches aim to capture moments which occur in the here and now. A process that is measured, thorough, good. To create moments of beauty which will only remain in the memory.”
