Defended feelings Painting

Authenticity of feelings and vulnerability: two values that are very important to me both in my life and painting. Being honest and open about the different emotions bubbling up inside of us as well as the feelings we have for others is something that is often associated with weakness. But to me, it's what makes us human. --- The 'Intimacy' series is about the complexity of human feelings in the context of intimate interactions between people. Intimate relationships are both a place of connection, a blissful shelter from the pains of life, a therapeutic zone, as well as a battlefield where we fight for our independence, dominance or reconciliation. --- All my works are painted on organic cotton canvas which is hand-stretched by myself on a wooden frame made from locally sourced wood. The canvas is sized with home-made glue and primed using my own primer. I don't use cheap mass-produced canvas stretchers. The painting is signed on the front (monogram signature) and on the back (full name, date, title, signature).‘Intimacy’ evolved from the previous series, ‘The Violence of Feeling’, and it continues to investigate the complexity of human feelings in the context of intimate interactions between people. Pleasure, desire, joy, affection, submission, dominance, nostalgia, longing, and loneliness are often found juxtaposed in these physical and emotional relationships formed between two or more people. Gender is irrelevant here, for these feelings are experienced by everyone in every possible relationship with another human being, regardless of its nature. Intimate relationships are both a place of connection, a blissful shelter from the pains of life, a therapeutic zone, as well as a battlefield where we fight for our independence, dominance or reconciliation.
