model, Muse (really!) The Erotic Beauty of the Female The greatest thing is to be moved by love, to hope, to live. To be a man before being an artist! In relation to this, I left Melbourne University, took master Zubvic's advice, and gave myself up to the influences of living with my mates, Zen and Pan. My paintings became as smooth as flesh, sensual and playful like . This facet of my life found expression in works of a charming sensuality, like Holly Love, or Venus, since the models were a favorite of mine, i.e , a radiant English/irish beauty I feel I known before. Previous to that I had experienced observing Sapphic lovers with a deceptive friend. Humorous and informal as it may be, that vulgar trait did not find its way into my art, and urged me even more to explore the beauty of the female, not the exploited beauty of the female. It is clear too in To One in Paradise, a homage to writer Edgar Allan Poe. The erotism of reclining lovers has already inspired fine works by Arthur Huges, and one of my favorite contemporary masters, Jeremy Lipking.
