A couple figure drawings I did alongside my students when I taught at SARA. I think these were about 3-4 hours each.

The Flowers of Evil is a dreamlike and symbolist work paying homage to Charles Baudelaire. It incorporates references to major themes from Les Fleurs du Mal. On the left, a dark wreck emerges from turbulent waves, evoking Man and the Sea or The Voyage, symbolizing wandering and the quest for the infinite. Above, a colossal feminine figure, framed by shadows and branches, recalls The Giantess, embodying a sublime and unsettling beauty. At the center, three women stand as allegorical figures or enigmatic muses, intertwined with gold and shadow, representing ideals, temptation, and melancholy. Their posture suggests a mystical dance or ritual, surrounded by feathers and flowing veils. The orientalist architecture in the background, with domes and golden mosaics, echoes Baudelaire’s fascination with exoticism and distant landscapes, as seen in poems like Exotic Perfume. The composition blends chaos and luxury, enhanced by the use of gold leaf, which amplifies the themes of decadence and the allure of the sacred.
