I have always been fascinated by sculpture and the ability to carve the stone or throw the clay with such precision, bringing it to life.

This series of my “sculptural” work started with “Three Graces” - Roman bas-relief I saw at the Louvre in November. I immediately knew I wanted to paint it and explore intricacies of human body captured so well by the ancients.

Venus de Milo is really stunning and unique. Every time I see it, it takes my breath away, especially in interesting light.

Venus may very well be first model! The way she stands, putting her weight on one leg, could be a beginning of a cat walk on the runway. I heard this theory from a young funny tour guide at the Louvre. He even demonstrated the walk. I thought it was very funny and interesting take on Venus.
