Art has been a constant in my life. From the time I could hold a pencil, I have been drawing, painting, sculpting, creating.
The sketch above was done with a simple Bic ballpoint pen. A few years ago, I embarked on an exploration of how sexuality and femininity are portrayed in fashion advertisements and editorials through simple pen drawings. Using a small journal as my canvas, I reinvented the fashion photographs that spoke to me. My pen further cropped and distorted the images - emphasizing and acting as an extension of the male gaze present in the original photo.
The two drawings here are framed together. Both exude a powerful, raw sexuality.
