This picture belongs to my series "Picasso"!

From my interview:
What artists were inspirational beside Picasso, whom you dedicated a picture series?

I think there are hardly an artist Picasso has not fascinated or influenced! He is not by accident regarded as the greatest artist of the twentieth century. Artists like Richard Prince or the Russian artist Mikhail Shemakakin and many other have dealt with his art. Me On the other hand, was inspired by his personality! In my series, which I dedicated to Picasso, I wanted to show his versatility, humor, ambition and his affair with the women, who shaped his life and his art.

I think Picasso once said that art is always erotic. For him there was no difference between art and erotic, if art was chaste, it would't be art.

Picasso, classicism, and sex are the themes with which I prefere to deal with and which I ironically illuminate and question!
