Illustrations are the reflection of the author’s senses. Expressionistic illustrations reflect their inner experiences best, since they are a string of current experiences, thoughts and stimulus. Artists express their observations through the focus on the sensations they experience. These are then portrayed with bold colours and different motifs.
Women are a recurrent motif of artists, being the muses and inspirations for their work. Feminism is the term applied for the theories, ideologies, movements and assertions for the improvement of women’s rights in society and equality among the sexes. Women who fight for their political, social and moral rights, are not afraid to expose themselves and speak up about their aspirations are deemed feminists. Feminism is not only a political movement; it also represents an outlook on the world through the eyes of women, how they feel when their rights are not equal as those of men. The woman’s body is too often the target of sexism and inappropriate looks, but the woman alone decides how she will dress and show her body. She is capable of creating and delivering a new human being into the world.
The line is a trace of movement, which is its main artistic characteristic, louring the eyes to follow. They can be very expressive, since the mood can be portrayed with different drawing dynamics. The contours can represent the beginning stage in painting or an independent artistic depiction. Even though contour depicting is very minimalistic, at the same time the technique enables one to express oneself, since the lines create some kind of movement.
