* What's inspiring me to paint nudes?
Well, the human anatomy is per se attractive! The human body is as vulnerable as powerful.
Thus my paintings are not more and not less than just the expression of my sense of aesthetics (as I see it). Of course my pictures also often express my sentiments by the choice of motive and colour.
Last but not least there is also always the challenge for me to find out whether I'd be capable to paint a certain theme - purely technically.
* Why do I use these colours to present a human body?
The colours red/orange and green are earth tones...

The colours red/orange and green are earth tones thus emanating warmth. Furthermore is "red" the colour of love and passion, whereas blue tones always implicate coldness.
I always choose the colours while painting, depending on my mood in that moment.
