Basic Instinct
When it concerns sex issues our society is still divided into two camps. Some think sex evil and low, it is for them the brute that kills any spiritual evolution. The others make it a great cult. On the one hand we can see the sex topic everywhere. But some reason its virtually ruled out that this very basic instinct can combine both the spiritual and the physical. It is important to realize the gist, come to the point where this basic instinct was conceived. I am talking of the inner sex and the base of it further development. According to my theory, all our basic sexual instincts except their straightforward manifestations are the instrument in the hands of an artist. Any person (viewer, reader, hearer) being spiritually united with this or that work of art gets his own share of moral orgasm, which can only be compared to the physical one. The only difference the feeling after lasts much longer. Numerous artists have used this instrument beside brushes and paints. This is what I think attracts us so much to their works.
In this series Im taking the basic instrument my body and inspired by great artists use their techniques, my experience and plunge into the intercourse to unite and be one. Im overwhelmed by desire to not primitively mimic the technique, but plunge inside, learn what was driving the genius, what inspired him. Before starting each work I studied in detail the work of the artist. Its a kind of a present to my favorite artists. All the materials or textures used in the compilations were painted by me in oil. Most pictures are self-portraits.
