In this collection inspired by a woman who smokes, and the sensual attitude that only she knows or can take. The "cigarette portrait" of photographic memory of the past pushes me to look for unusual poses of smokers, as I will be able to show later.
The portrait itself fascinates me, the enigmatic and mysterious image, and one's own identity which in many is equivocal, or counterfeit. In fact, the faces portrayed show some thoughtful expressions, others absent, or fascinating, involved in the common need to "be such" and not to "have to appear". The search for one's identity, which leads to true self-knowledge, and the awareness that everything in life is semblance.
I made this work by digitizing a photo, I made the whole body graphic without touching the eyes. Penetrating eyes, to reveal dreams, desires, the conception of beauty, the secret of the soul.
