'Intimacy is something that frightens a lot of people, myself included. That's why I show it in my work. Not to make people feel uncomfortable, but to confront them with the vulnerability and touching side of us humans.' 

 

 

'A good painting contains three elements: humor, drama and sensuality.'

- Helma Pantus
