Days of Winter is a journey along a body: An exploration that aims to examine skin through the nudity of shapes, as a search from the whole to the part, from a perspective of the entire body to a glance of fragments of such a body, from representation to abstraction. A soul is also there. And a body, a hand, some lips. They suggest the presence of a mind who searches for truth trough her body.
The scope is twofold: a story and its narrative, and a visual journey. As a story, Days of Winter aims to place the viewer before a drama: A woman is revealed only in part as if her body will deliver a monologue. A self-exploration. Also a sense of loss: The woman was young once but is now reaching maturity.
As a visual journey, Days of Winter aims to present the body from a sculpture perspective, away from the conventional approach of idealising the female body. The nude in my series is abstracted to lines and shapes, dissected and rearranged. The flesh, its closeness, the clean, honest, direct representation of skin and parts of a body have guided my exploration, my journey along a body.
