Digital Sessions by Cristian Crisbasan

The photographs of Cristian Crisbasan present nudes of an apparently frivolous woman, an exponent of a daring, yet refined eroticism, somehow lacsivious, on the borderline of licentiousness. His nudes are reminiscent of classical 19th century nudes, photogaphs taken in order to present the woman from an anatomical point of view - inspired by real life, with the disproportions and defects inherent to an authentic and alive rather than a staged model. The woman selected by Crisbasan is not a prototype of the ideal woman. She is not a model. She is not looking for perfection, and least of all for artificiality. As a matter of fact, Crisbasan confesses that he does not like to photograph fashion models, exactly because he sees them as artificial, fake and superficial beings altered by their professions. Crisbasan's images are interesting, beautiful, and stir emotions because in an era when the nude has become a topic of deconstruction, of artificiality, of hybridization, they manage to stll be the expression of "natural" beauty. Cristian Crisbasan is an artist on a quest of beauty. For him, the most honest and beautiful portrait of a woman is the nude - the whole body with all the signs of feminity. As he states, "I think, woman is the most fascinating and rich entity on Earth".
