- ‘Eroticism is born from the possibility of a movement. It belongs to the kingdom of dreams’ Jean-Francois Somain
The term eroticism in art has appeared somewhat late, in 1841, in French, but the exploration and the articulation of this extremely intimate space has always fascinated the human nature. In ancient cultures: India, China, Japan, the sexuality is like a prayer, belonging to the philosophies and the religions of the area. This poetic universe of love affair has fascinated and incited in many ways ALL cultures of the Earth. Some were more explicitly expressed, others enveloped in fine veils, in mystery or shyness, affection/love/eroticism is, were and will be explored as long as the human kind will roam the Earth. - With the invention of photography, the artist had the joy of exploring eroticism through a new mean, through a formula that will ignite his imagination, turning him into a ‘privileged slave’ of sexuality. Erotic Photography occurs at a time when the world / society, freed from the shackles of religion was already prepared for this new visual medium and for a new approach, even though there were moments of social and moral convulsions. The phenomenon could not be stopped. Erotic Photography took its first breath and it was born!
- What was new and surprising for the photographer as for the the spectators was the fact that in photography the human body represents the reflection of reality and cannot be retouched or hidden, here every image freezes a moment of truth and sometimes it’s better that the truth should not to be known.
- This was the moment in which the photographer was freed from the rigours of society and of other arts, embracing Erotic Photography in a new, unexplored visual expression. From then until now countless photographers have fallen ‘victim’ of this never-ending explorable territory, leaving behind impressions and expressions that continually reveal and amaze.
- After a photographic journey full of trials and experiences, after making an entrance in the artistic photographic space with the 1+1 Exhibition here is Sooska challenged by and challenging a new subject with an erotic theme.
- Rainbow Eyes Exhibition confirms that the expression of eroticism in photography has no limits. Experiment/challenge/incitement in a personal conceptual language in which the gesture of the author is highly present, the boundaries of privacy are put to the wall, it is in a nutshell the exhibition that Sooska is proposing this time.
- I am sure that this exhibition will be a real challenge for each of us, a test of our own limits.

- The testimonial of a model…
- ‘We all know that women are the fair sex, when you say woman you think of characteristics like gentleness, sensuality, tenderness, mystery. Yes, I said mystery; we women are opening our legs faster than our soul. You have to go a longer way to discover a woman’s soul; in Rainbow Eyes exhibition, Pinto Horse has tried to do this, to combine the eye, which represents the soul, with a women’s most intimate part - the vagina - seen as a symbol for birth and rebirth, novelty, beginning. Lets therefore look at the vagina as a symbol, exactly as the meaning of the photos in the exhibition, photos that express delicately the eroticism and not sexuality, vulgarity.
- Moreover, the artist's vision goes even further, wishing him to capture the woman exactly as she is, unique. For this reason the exhibition Rainbow Eyes is involving 11 models. Pinto Horse tried and I can say that he succeeded to show the uniqueness of every woman, not through the eyes or their facial features, not body shapes, but by a body part to which access is difficult. I could even go further to say that the eye used for each model reflects a part of their personality, and that because eyes of different sizes and colors were chosen by each model. The chosen eye, says Pinto Horse ‘represents her as a woman, not just the vagina’.
- I liked the idea when I heard it, I was excited even! I could not believe anyone even thought about that and not only thought, but he also had enough courage to implement it.
- Perhaps you are wondering how I agreed to participate as a model. Sometimes I think about it smile hangulatjel
. I know I saw everything as a challenge, a step outside my comfort zone. It was a touch of madness (call it as you wish), for which I was given an unique opportunity and I was not going to let it slip through my fingers. I was refusing the thought of not experiencing this. I was too curious and I had a lot of questions and waiting for the answer (can I dare so much? Can I push my limits that much? Am I able to allow me this dose of madness?) ‘
