The body has often an expressive power that goes beyond words. It has a language of its own and is able to express personality and boldness, strength and fragility, embarrassment and sensuality.

I have always sought uniqueness in what appears ordinary so that intimate everyday gestures become silent messages, and small fascinating 'imperfections' tell each time a different story.

I have portrayed friends, lovers, and strangers who by showing me their bodies have exposed their souls, entrusting me with their vulnerabilities. Snapshots of precious, unrepeatable moments condensed in the smudges of quick and instinctive sketches, which I collected in a notebook.
