
The skin: cover, layer, marked, stained. With scars, holes, tattoos, pendants. Sizes, colors, several dimensions. Such an immense and intimate organ, so sensitive to talk about, to be  touched or feltl. The Skin Portraits project explores different bodily territories and "scans" the human body and their intimacies. We are all involved in the skin, and this organ talks so much about us. Our history, our experiences, traumas, joys, loves and our origins. Independent of race, sexual orientation, purchasing power or whatever determine our social environment. The skin is like ink, with different shades and textures, and has a raw material in common, the human being. Based on an exchange between the invited person and the artist, the creation process begins with a conversation about intimacy and skin. Then the photos are taken, which are then edited and developed and with the manual gluing technique are the works were created. The creative process takes place through deconstructions of the shapes and textures of the skin, the artist seeks show what you absorbed in the photo session with the guests. The explanation of private parts placed by means of other angles is one of the tools in this process. You can say that through the intimacy of others there is a search and attempt to understand one's own intimacy
