    Although I paint feminine figures, my primary desire is to express the
    soul essence of the model:  through the eyes, the mouth, and the
    gestures.  I deeply enjoy the interplay between the esthetic, the
    erotic and the mythic. Every model represents an archetypal aspect of
    woman.   This is not an abstraction; it becomes a magical act.   I
    participate in expressing her soul.  Sometimes I use the figure of a
    model and modify her psychological content to create a totally new
    being. She could be darker or lighter. It truly feels like the birthing
    of a soul.
