No Hands
12x36 Acrylic on canvas
Part of the Nudes Series
Raw, unfiltered self-expression is beautiful to me. In my Nudes series, "No Hands" captures a moment like this. Based on a picture from an amazing muse, this piece stands out for its unique composition and intimate portrayal. The subject, fully undressed with exception to a pair of black underwear, uses her hands to cover her breasts while holding the phone in her mouth. Playing the role of human tripod, the clever positioning adds an element of playfulness, emphasizing the balance and tension in her pose. The shadows and intricate contours of her body are rendered in a way that aims to capture the sensual, natural beauty, and complexity of the human form. Deep, rich colors of purple, magenta, and turquoise round out the background, creating a vibrant contrast to the mahogany complexion of the figure. Even completely exposed with her long hair cascading down her back and tattoo on her lower stomach revealing so much about her still doesn't give her identity as her face remains hidden, preserving the mystery in her anonymity.
