Master of Sensual Curves Hamish Blackley (21 photos)

Many believe that the back is the center of female sexuality. British artist Hamish Blakely is absolutely certain of this. Most of the women in his paintings have their backs to the viewer. And although we don't always see their facial expressions, the artist's skill helps us understand the subject's mood.





Hamish Blakely was born in 1968 in Canterbury, England, to a family of ordinary white-collar workers. No one in his circle was involved in art, but Hamish became seriously interested in painting already in elementary school. After finishing comprehensive school, he earned degrees from Wimbledon School of Art and Kingston University.



Blackley became an illustrator, and his talent was soon recognized. In his first year after completing his university studies, he won his first national award and several smaller prizes.



But Hamish Blackley is known worldwide not as an illustrator, but as a talented painter. His female portraits are imbued with sexual energy and emotion, although their subjects are most often shown from behind.



When asked how the artist gets the ideas for his paintings, he answers:

"When I begin painting, I don't devise or draw any kind of compositional plan. It always comes by chance and continues to flow within me as I work, until I put the finishing touches on the painting."
