Ellen Antico’s work is inspired by Renaissance paintings and the work of Rubens; her motives primarily celebrate the female body in all shapes and sizes: Large fleshy figures, entwined with one another, confident with their body and sexuality.
Painted with oil and charcoal on canvas, these intimate moments capture the climax of physical and emotional connection between the subjects.
Even when the subjet seems to be a forgotten one, Ellen Antico’s images act in a contemporary moment following no rules of straight lines as they are dedicated to the most human element – the body.
