IMPULSE
This series explores sexuality as a profound inner force—often reduced to objectification, seduction, or mere aesthetics—yet in truth, it is a wellspring of self-worth, expression, freedom, and creation.
The body is not just a body. It is a vessel—bridging the internal and external, the potential and its manifestation.
When we embrace our sexuality—raw, genuine, deep—we allow ourselves to be. It becomes a gateway to freedom, to creativity, to presence. Through this creative process, we embody ourselves.
Across many cultural and spiritual traditions, sexual energy is considered one of the most powerful forces, equated with the energy of creation itself—be it Hindu Kundalini, Taoist sexual energy, or Jungian libido. It is a potent impulse that lives within each of us, waiting to be awakened.
We are not simply creating something—we are becoming through creation. We give ourselves permission to be, to feel, to reclaim our value and presence in the world.
I work with images of the nude body not to provoke, but to immerse the viewer in the experience of embodiment—as a space of truth and power.
This is not about “look at me,” but about “feel yourself”.
My aim is not for the viewer to see the body as an object, but to awaken their own inner impulse, their own strength and presence.
The series will include paintings and digital collages, based on original photographs of the nude body. Not as acts of self-display, but as a way of transforming visual experience into artistic expression.
