This triptych of figurative artworks represents new innovations in the journey of creative exploration. The base of these works began with a painted nude photo shoot in the studio where the model posing is covered in body-safe white paint. This base coat which is often referred to as a primer has a beautiful and profound effect on the creative process for the model and artist. It neutralizes and breaks mental associations the model has with their body. Any limitations placed by the mind, such as judgment in the beauty, areas they do not like about themselves, etc become reduced or neutralized. The white paint creates a marble like effect on the skin, creating a sculpture like dynamic with the form, giving the model a mental freedom by also feeling empowered, not vulnerable to the nudity. Like a superhero suite, the paint becomes an empowerment layer for which the model begins to feel a renewed sense of freedom, liberated from the associations held of the body’s imperfections which have now been dissolved away.

As the creative flow process unravels, brush strokes of color intuitively applied with movement dynamics akin to yogic maneuvers, dance, rhythm, improvised yet in alignment to the cadence of music and co-creation dynamics between artist and model. This is a facilitated phenomenon induced by the artist, a technique refined over 30 years of practice that merges the rituals and exercises developed to evoke this creative flow state (therapeutic) experience which yields through the beautiful journey, beautiful outcomes.
