Welcome on board 🛶
I am an art model who is in love with the possibilities of this job.
I also am a photographer, really enjoying the self-portraiture adventures. 80% of my content is taken by yours truly.
What will you find here?
I’d like it to be diverse. A mix of classical and dynamic poses shot at studio, together with scenes with a strong narrative that sometimes resemble a movie sequence (I have a background on cinema). Too often I am captured by overhead lighting and strong shadows that give so much mystery to the figure and pronounce bone and muscle structures.
I also enjoy collaborating with painters and photographers I admire to create sets with a unique vision, gathering knowledge from centuries of painting to be poured into the compositions we create.
In recent times I've enjoyed the challenge of jumping to the scenes from classic masters of the figure, trying to understand their vision and submerging in their very unique worlds, studying carefully their models' essence and the general attitude and approach to the human body.
You will find homages to Klimt, Egon Schiele, Ingres, Lucian Freud...
I’m all for feedback and ideas to create, so if you have any particular concept you'd like to develop, don’t hesitate to contact me at my IG: instagram.com/vilidian_artmodel or directly to my email: vilidianvilks@gmail.com. If you have a specific visualisation of a scene for a painting or drawing, I’ll be super happy to help you create it and be a part of the conceptualization too.
