Original artwork description:

My inspiration comes from the women I have loved, desired, photographed and painted. I am an experienced photographer, I participated in the prestigious Sony World Photography Awards in Cannes on 2009, and one of my works was chosen by Sony for advertising use in the UK.
In this painting a female nude in sweet abandonment, she rests, the window is open to the world, but not without fear, there is a negative presence emerging from the dark part of the painting, in opposition to the moonlit part. Representing one's own hidden world through dreaming, the desire to be able to forget oneself and escape the gaze of others; sleeping, turning one's back. The moon is the soul, our way of experiencing emotions, desires, dreams. The earth is reality, the place where we struggle with regrets and disappointments. The dark side to represent our fears.
Mixed technique with enamel and acrylic colours on digital processing of photograph on canvas, finally treated with clear varnish to make it durable and long-lasting. Authentic work executed by me in one piece.
