When colors dance with joy, from feelings that occur when eyes make contact with human bodies, artist is inspired to record lines and colors that gradually become paintings. It's like a little bird singing freely. Figures of woman and man are of serene beauty; curved lines of arms, hands, breasts, face, hairline, mouth, neck, eyebrows, chin, shoulders, thighs, and buttocks with touches of light and shade resulting in beauty of any movement that occurs.

I created this series of works by using human figures as inspiration, by applying lines and strokes of paints with the intention to obtain paintings of life, 'The Colors of Bodies', so that we can appreciate the majestic colors of all of our lives.
