Q: Are these artworks just recreations or a continuation of your sexual experiences? I am pretty sure 10 more people would ask this.. so why don't you share your favourite artwork that you have created so far :) and explain the thought process ?

A:
I get these kinds of questions a lot .🫣🙂‍↔️

and honestly? Mostly yes, my art is deeply influenced by personal experience.
Sometimes I recreate moments I’ve actually lived, and other times I explore fantasies I’ve never tried before.

It’s kind of funny, but when I first started watching porn, I was more drawn to the characters and their positions than anything else.😅
I’d imagine scenes in my own way, mix them with fantasy, and sometimes I’d just start drawing because I was feeling aroused but didn’t want to act on it. Drawing became my way of channeling those feelings.🙈

There are moments during intimacy where I completely lose myself in the experience. And if something really intimate or special happens, it stays with me. Later, that feeling often becomes the foundation for a drawing.
I’ve even created art while being with someone, right in the middle of it. It’s raw, instinctive, and honest.

Some works are inspired by sensual photographs or artistic pages I come across. If something touches me emotionally or erotically, it usually ends up in my sketchbook.

And in my life, cinema has had a huge influence. I’ve watched a lot of erotic films, especially in the beginning, and that’s how I started understanding how the human body expresses itself through sex, not just physically, but emotionally and symbolically.
It’s so important to understand sex in a positive, open way, and that mindset has deeply shaped my art and my connection to my body.

And please… don’t ask me to choose just one favorite artwork. that’s impossible!
Maybe I’ll share a special or interesting story behind one of them sometime.
