Meztelen 
artist profile

Meztelen only began painting erotic art recently. His previous work focused on landscapes, steam engines, and aircraft – all subjects he’s passionate about.

"Eventually I realized I had to paint the other subject I’m passionate about – the female form." The experience and techniques Meztelen gained in his previous work transferred well to the realistic style of his erotic art.

"My favorite medium is acrylics which have all the desirable qualities of oils, but without the disadvantages." Meztelen builds his works using oil-painting techniques to give a depth and luminosity that’s hard to achieve in any other way.

Meztelen adds, "the depth of color doesn’t come over well from scans, you really have to see the originals to appreciate it."

"I’m not sure how I’d describe my overall style. Someone once said my work has the same feel as Jazz - dark, moody, and a little seedy without being explicit. I’m fascinated by light and shade, and how to describe forms and space."

"None of my work shows models’ faces. This is a stylistic decision rather than an attempt to preserve anyone’s identity. I think it makes the work more mysterious, and leaves the viewer more space to use his or her own imagination.

"After all, the largest erogenous zone we have is our minds."
