Erotic Art of Apollonia Saintclair – INK IS MY BLOOD Vol

"There are many reasons why I am so jealous of my true identity, but the one that matters most to me is precisely this: I ask only for one thing, please appreciate my art for what it is in your eyes, and not because of or through the biographical prism of its creator. It doesn’t matter who’s behind my drawings, because in my opinion art ultimately transcends that. In any case, the private person does not coincide with the artist. To create means to go out of oneself, to let the other speak. Everything else is only an anecdote, because what matters is not where a drawing comes from, but where it takes you. The female gaze is quite different from the male gaze, adding a complexity and depth which goes way past simply being ‘a woman’s point of view’. My interest and imagination goes beyond the confinement of ‘sex’ as a specific act related to particular body parts. Sexuality, especially female sexuality, is multifaceted. It's very personal, very individual, like the nine-tenths of your personality hidden under the tip of an iceberg. Desire is a much more potent concept than sex and ‘eroticism’ a quality which underlies the very humanity of all of us." ‘Apollonia Saintclair’
