"Those are utterly modern paintings, also in their content. Even the most
audacious eroticism can not substitute in the field of art for the solid
painting technique , for the painter's contemplation of how to formally
capture the subject. For an intelligent creator it is just a pretext, a "naked artistic fact". Only such an artist is able to catch our attention and to unlock our imagination."
