I create artistic nude images to tell stories. Some of my work explores the dynamic between artist and muse, while others challenge traditional gender stereotypes. I craft imaginary worlds, reflect on self-perception, and delve into the connection between the body and nature. My aim is not to evoke eroticism but to provoke thought, using the human form as a medium to convey deeper messages and to invite viewers to consider the narrative behind each image.
My first foray into art nude portraiture was triggered by a visit to the Amersfoort home of the artist Piet Mondrian. Photographs of Folies Bergère dancers were hanging on Mondrian's studio wall. This led me to wonder---is this what inspired Mondrian to paint his abstract masterpieces?
I then set out to bring art and muse together. To do so, I projected digital images of iconic paintings onto models as they posed freely in a darkened studio. The result was a series of composite images, each distinguished by its own unique geometry, texture, and visual appeal.
Presented below are two sets of projection portraits. The first features famous paintings projected onto models while the second showcases a more diverse set of projected objects. To download a photo book with highlights of the projection-portraits, please click here.
In parallel with the projection portraiture work, I've also sought to use the nude body as a broader storytelling medium. For example, in a few series, I envisioned myself as a sea creature, traveling the world on the arms of models serving as travel guides. In others, I've staged series that were parodies of domestic life, created surreal worlds, illustrated the organic connection between the body and nature, and used paper bag masks to reveal how models see themselves.
A curated selection of the art nude portraits are available for download in a dedicated photo book, accessible by clicking here. A photo book of monochromatic art nude portraits can be downloaded here.
