The artist dedicated himself to studies of the nude in 1977, 1978 and 1979, intensely absorbed in the questions of the pictorial masses and light that would capture the volumes in the bodies, in a process of freeing matter, with emphasis on a refined sense of looking, without getting into anatomical details, but rather highlighting the fluidity of the form, the colour and the composition, in consideration of the most alive element of nudity.
