“In the late 60 everyone was making love with everyone and people taking sex as a fun but after, with the threat of AIDS, there was talk of pink plague, so very underground, and suddenly nobody wanted to kiss or touch for fear of dying. In that context terrifying I thought I had to dignify sex organs, so I started to paint them as if they were portraits or still lifes”, tells the artist.

“I wanted to portray the sexual organs as if they were magic, dignify, as a still life, as' Mona Lisa’ de Leonardo Da Vinci, and then when I thought all together eroticism, as if they had been created with a metalanguage, Underground”, He insists the artist.

The exhibition will be open until 4 July Henrique Faria Gallery in Buenos Aires, Freedom 1630, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Monday through Friday 11.30 a 19 free admission.
