Male nudity in art. Here is just a brief thought and a question I ask myself – When the male body became emotionless and genitalless?
Recently I have started working on the series of smaller sized paintings with the subject of the Male Sensuality. One of the taboos in the contemporary art setting.

When was that turning point in art history when male body couldn't be represented in its full beauty? When did they start covering or even cutting off the penises? Nowadays it's a pretty amorphous area... down there..
The nudity – and first of all the male nudity!! – is aggressively censored, blurred and shamed.

Why can't we admire the male figure as much as we tend to admire the female figure in art? There is absolutely nothing wrong with any parts of the male body! It's given by God, it's beautiful, sensual and worth being seen, acknowledged and adored in full!
