Project_ISM - erotic art & public nudity

GINTARIE

ARTISTS STATEMENT

I find nakedness both intimadating and liberating. The rush you feel when your skin is exposed. Clothing is such a part of how we express ourselves, our personality, our social standing, our sexuality, without it we are a little more equal. I find being nude brings out my playful side. The human body is both hilarious and breath taking. As an artist I find that by engaging with playfulness, by letting your child like instincts to the forefront, is for me, one of the biggest gifts you can give to both the seer and the doer. I love and hate my body as much as the next person, though the more we can play and engage ourselves sexually and honestly I believe the more empathy we will find in the world.
