Half French, half Danish, Tina Maria Elena has developed a unique visual style to depict the delicate and sensual viewpoint of a woman on sexuality, self-love and love.
Her textured and colourful watercolours convey a message of true empowerment to women, for them to express themselves sexually, freed from shame and stigma. I felt that the feminine and sensual perspective had been missing in erotic art and it was most certainly a huge part of my inspiration when I started painting the Make Love series.
I posted my first erotic art on November 20, on Instagram. Fortunately I feel a strong development in this area. Women are starting to accept their own sexuality and I think this is very visible on Instagram. I started following Alpha Channeling on Instagram a few years ago and I think he was one of the reasons why I dared to share my erotic art too. I love his magical Erotic Utopia. Nudity in paintings is okay to post on Instagram, but the problem is that even though this is allowed people can still report it if they feel violated.
And a lot of accounts are being disabled no matter if you have many followers or only few. Women often need more time to connect, to have foreplay, to slow down to feel sensual. Yes, the focus on women pleasure is increasing.
The sexual liberation and the body-positive theme is really hot and I think it helps a lot of women. I want so much to empower women and let them feel gorgeous, sensual and sexual without any shapes of shame, guilt or suppressed desires. And I do speak up as a woman through my art. Many people write to me and comment on the emotions they get by looking at my paintings⦠something they hope to find, are happy to have or are inspired by. I want both men and women to feel desirable and love-worthy.
