This is my stencil artwork
As a woman and artist, I’m always been fascinated with all female body’s representations in art history. But to be honest (and knowing I’m not saying any new ideas) the public sphere of art history has left women in a corner.
Woman’s fought their way into art history and long story short, you can visit any museum of fine arts and would saw a disproportion favoring number of male artist, ironically you will see all the walls with presence of female body, but that’s the way things was.
I order of make some absurd balance in my head, I decided to made a male nudes paintings.
Here is the result:
This is how i made it
1# Started the process looking for some inspo...
And i was inspired by many venus representations, like Botticelli. Also i looked for all kind of forms related to the sea.
2# Then i sketched the idea
#3 Finally made a stencil of the sketch and print it on cotton paper with mtn spray

STOPYour gaze is interesting. I enjoy reading your explanation, the process and the result. What is mtn spray? Why do you choose cotton paper? How do you decide the colors' combination?

STOPhi! thanks i really appreciate :) at the moment i'm playing with graffiti elements and making some little experiments...mtn it's a graffiti spray brand, they have a big variety of colours and great quality. I think all the materials came to me by accident but they are very special. In Venezuela we have too many problems manufacturating ¡everithing! i wasnt able to find a good paper until i mett this guy who closed his paper factory and he's selling all the stock. Is the most beutifull paper... and everithing together was just wonderfull. About the color, it's a pallet i've been working for a few years (i think the're mostly pastels and colours mixed in a naiv way) in this case i play with combinations and layers, relating elements by colours becouse, i think it helps to give the sense that the forms are related. Thanks again nice to meet you ;)
Nice to meet you @vivero
This is inspiring! I enjoy to share about art-making process for multiple reasons. The notion of "feedback" is complex... i find exciting to question what kind of feedback creates positive or negative impacts. What kind of feedback makes a difference, and produce change in the making process?
Graffiti! I need big walls. But right now, i would die because of the cold :/
Accident - Is art the celebration of failures, surprise, random, serendipity?
Paper factory. Cotton paper is very resistant and has archival quality :D Do you know the art of making your own paper? You just need water, a blender, and old paper :D
Material & accessibility. Here in Berlin, Germany, distribution of art material is excellent. I am impressed by the diversity and the quality. But accessibility is relative to class issues. I think recycling trash is the most relevant approach. What do you think about it? Now i have the chance have more money for my art, the pleasure of buying art material is gigantic! I am becoming an art material shopping addict.
Color - What do you mean by "naiv way"? I am curious. What are the worst combinations and why? I am working with colors only since 1 year (before with lines, black&white). I am intrigued by your idea of "layer", that seems to be directly related to print media. Is it? (I like stamp technique, silk-screen, risography) Do you use colors in other media?
