Little death #08

In the art history, the male nude, compared to the female, is insignificant. This series of 11 paintings pays homage to the male body as the protagonist of a growing narrative until reaching orgasm, the “little death”. It is the moment where there is only satisfaction, no longer desire. In the absence of desire, life is over. For this reason, orgasm is also called the little death.
