"Painting is a space in which male
artists can practice voyeurism in a respectable manner (I know that this is true for
photographers as well). This has been made possible as the female model, whose nudity in
an artist's studio is situated in a discourse of 'history of art'. In my paintings, I am
throwing a critical eye at my own self as an artist and my relationship to the female
model in front of me, who is ready to undress for my gaze, as I know that she is doing
this because she is poor."
