This series is called Shroud. All pieces in this series are closely linked, forming a unit in style as well as in form. Its subject is the harmony between body, drapery, and movement. I wanted to paint a series where the models give the impression that they strip or dress up, but the essence was not laid in nudity or sensuality. Therefore I painted poses that are not so usual or attractive and only some suggestive parts can be directly seen of the body, which is otherwise made visible by the carefully painted clothes. In the paintings I combined plasticity with flatness. I wanted to give them an unfinished appearance, in order to let the compositions breath. I left the background almost completely unpainted because the focus was on the model, the motion, the folds of the drapery.
