Your paintings have an interesting faceted quality to them, and an unconventional style. Though I'm curious to know what your intention/message is in this painting ? as sometimes I think there is a fine line between expressing the beauty and fascination of the human form and mere objectification. Maybe your title should have a question mark after it? to suggest irony or to ask questions about the way the viewer looks at the human body. I'm very against censorship but is this image relevant as an art work? Maybe others can give their response to it as well.

Hello Christopher James and thank you very much for having appreciated my paintings! Your comment is very interesting. about this nude! As far as I am concerned, I do not wonder about the sexy and provocative side of this lady, because yes, it certainly invites us to desire! And what influenced me to paint it is the beauty of this body and the pleasure of seeing that image transmits. Yes there is provocation obviously this is what gives a little   chili! And the artist seeks to convey emotions. Well on I agree with you, we can not forbid and feel this, because I wonder who this image can harm! As you say it is difficult for an artist not to fall into vulgarity and to find a good balance of the limit. Art and the way of presenting things is what makes the class of the artist! And it's a lot of work! Grégoire Koboyan

Interesting points Grégoire and I agree with you. I will admit that my opinions were from my personal cultural point of view. And maybe it's the old finger pointing British knee jerk reaction in me, and possibly related to the fact that the female is of a modern aesthetic, and associated with western modern superficiality. I often question a lot of things and question my own ideas a lot as well. Its always good to talk about art as art is all about responding to it, either intellectually, spiritually or emotionally. So in answer to my previous question.....I believe yes, this painting is relevant.

But the point I wanted to add is that objectification of females and males in any medium is destructive and a negative part of our society. Your painting is relevant because it highlights this and therefore influences debate.

About the Artist
Grégoire KOBOYAN

Self-taught seasoned. Painting for me is a way of discovering oneself in the mirror of the past, the present and the future. As an initiatory journey, as a missionary I would like to be able to convey messages, and emotions, awakening the imaginary. I paint and draw amateur since 1977, outside,…
