Mi sueño favorito

Original digital drawing by Florencia Magallanes.

“Mi sueño favorito” from “Erotica” series. 2016

From the artist:

“Sueño favorito” (Favourite dream)

A sleeping woman is shown in an explicit pose, legs wide open in the centre, yet her genitalia is not precisely highlighted. We can assume that she is resting after a pleasant moment due to its undoubtedly erotic nature, but we are not being invited to look voyeuristically but to focus on her oneiric experience. The juxtaposition of textures and its opacity help us to feel the tranquillity.

Erótica" Series (2016)

The internet offers a huge variety of pornography and erotic images, catering to all tastes.
Sexuality, sensuality, and eroticism are concepts closely related; all reflect the human's ability to feel desire and provoke it. All these concepts have historically been the subject of art. But the internet has made it possible to showcase and share what once was considered taboo, in a massively absurd amount. It seems that the internet will never be tired of pornography and I wanted to contribute to it by redefining some of the different varieties and categories of erotic material that are in demand.

I believe eroticism is also an invitation to reflect on raw human emotions and power dynamics. What we consume and how we portrait our collective desire transcends the mere sexual interactions we experienced, specially if we take in consideration that for many of us, the internet was the only source of sexual education.
