Description

The Artwork

In the heart of a uniquely envisioned project, an exploration of the human form in its most artistic and sensually raw manifestation came to life. This journey began with a captivating photo shoot located amidst the serene backdrop of nature, featuring the Hungarian erotic model, Fanny. She brought a breath of fresh air to the concept of art, bending and twisting over the single piece of furniture—a table—present in the space. Fanny skillfully positioned herself into various intriguing poses, freezing momentarily to capture the essence of a “nude human still life” or “human nude table-top”.

The inspiration behind this erotically charged yet sensually elegant series is deeply rooted in the ancient frescoes of Rome, Greece, and Egypt. The pastel hues that once graced these age-old wall paintings provided a delicate palette for the photographs, infusing them with a touch of historical reverence and a splash of modernity. Striving to mirror the authentic texture and ambiance of a fresco, an innovatively artistic approach was employed. The photographs were projected onto a wall meticulously prepared with a blend of white paint and chalk. This backdrop, while still moist and in the process of drying, interacted with the imagery in a way that brought forth a “fresco lookalike” effect, seamlessly blending the past and the present.

The artwork will be shipped in a sealed cardboard box and covered with bubble plastic film. The certificate, which accompanies the artwork, is also in the sealed box.
