If you are one of those people offended by nudity get out of here now! This is the second photo here of Rebeca. Please read in the first photo below of Rebeca about the history of the project and about Rebeca. I was not going to place any of the actual nude portraits here on the site. I wanted to have the photos only for exhibitions or for private viewing. We had many sessions and created lots of incredible photos together. I finally thought it would be best to at least to have two photos that represented the actual nude series. I exhibited these two photos in a gallery show in New York called the Club 57 Art Show. It was a group of artists from the former '80s creative club called Club 57. We all showed work that we did back at that time and work that we do now to show a sense of continuity. This particular photo was a long collaboration between Rebeca and me. The idea behind the Bohemian Nude project was to do a mutual creative collaboration together with photographer and model. Rebeca put as much creative energy and ideas as I did. It was totally equal. That was one of the main points of the project and I felt that we achieved that and more.
We thought out this particular photo. I will leave the interpretation to the viewer. Rebeca collected snails, bird feathers and eggs over a period of time. She painted the backdrop. I organized the photo studio. We exchanged ideas for a long time and we finally shot it. Rebeca exposed herself to create a strong image. The snail on her left breast was not abused. It is living a nice life in a Prague garden. Rebeca is back in Spain being the free spirit that she is and I am back to work in Prague.
