The art of exhibitionism and voyeurism, it's a path I chose to walk on some twenty years ago when I left Rio de Janeiro and stepped into the world of study and admiration of the human form. Nude modelling was a bold move for a Brazilian girl from a traditional family, but there was something about the quiet promise of a charcoal tracing every contour of my exposed body that stirred me, that made me feel paradoxically free and bound in the same breath.
It first happened in a small art studio in San Francisco; the air was heavy with the scent of paint and old wood, light wafted in, creating a mosaic of patterns on the bare floor. As the cloak fell from my body, there was a sudden silence, then the soft murmur of charcoal on paper began. It was terrifyingly liberating; like the moment right before a meeting of lips, a sharp intake of breath, hearts pounding. Each pair of eyes was a mirror, my body the image - the artist was the voyeur, I the exhibitionist. It was a dance, an exchange of energy, fuelled by the silent dialogue between the observer and the observed.
With each pose, I bared more than just skin; my soul, my fears, my triumphs lay bare on that cold wooden floor along with me. I rebuilt my sense of self-esteem each time I disrobed, learning to embrace my body, to feel comfortable in my own skin. I watched as the artists began to see me, truly see me; not just as a model but as a woman, as a human being. The connection was palpitous, tangible enough to touch, as though a thread of energy linked every artist to me, each other and to the vast chasm of artistic expression.
Years later, I started my own venture - an "xxx linksite" as we cheekily termed it, becoming a bridge between developing artists and prospective models. I decided to invest in an online space where artists could meet, interact, and find models suited to their unique artistic vision. The site is a tribute to my journey and a testament to the power of the human form; a symbol of how art can interconnect souls who have never met in person.
My life has been an ongoing work of art, a masterpiece in the making, and each stroke of charcoal, each sketch, is a piece of my journey. I found freedom in the rawness of vulnerability, strength in the fragility of exposure. It taught me that art, in all its forms, takes courage to create - a courage to see, to observe, to bare, to be bared, and above all, to connect. It's a camaraderie of souls, a communion that supersedes boundaries, prejudices, and judgement. My body is a canvas that tells a story, a story of resilience, acceptance, and the beauty of the human form. To this day, the primal dance between the voyeur and exhibitionist continues, each one seeking and celebrating the other, striking a balance between seeing and being seen.  |
