The most important in the artworks is that what is very often invisible at first glance : emotions, feelings , state of mind , character ... In addition , the artworks show very often the sensual side of human being - the side that has been suppressed due to interaction of culture, related conventions including education and upbringing. That’s why the images of women are explored most frequently. The women are usually young, beautiful and sensual. Sometimes the subject is concerned on male- female relationships. But above all, the subjects like sensuality and sexuality that are taboo for many religions, social, political or sociological systems. The artist simply asks: Does sexuality and sensuality exclude spirituality, orthey are related in some ways?
