Inspired by Caravagigo's Eros coming off the bed. I have dealt with the prejudice towards the male figure by galleries and the public since I began painting. Considered homo erotic, the male figure is immediately pigeon holed. I wanted to question, "If a classic nude was presented in contemporary times, how would it be received? I really wanted to challenge myself and challenge the viewer with this painting. It was a tough process because the eye when seeing a real reflection can focus on different elements. Whether your eyes rest on what is behind the window or reflected, I had to choose a focus and accentuate the important aspects.
