Why do you draw so many women?

When i look at the curvy lines and shapes of the female body i sometimes think: „Yes, it was worth it – the entire effort with the Big Bang, scattering all those atoms around and installing some laws of nature, only to finally reach, after billions of years of evolution, this absolute degree of perfection in beauty and harmony.“

The impressions and emotions these harmonious shapes and lines evoke in me are comparable to those one feels when looking at a beautiful flower and less of a sexual nature – though that certainly also might play its role as i’m a man.

With my drawings, I try to approach the mystery of this perfect harmony. Whether I succeed, I cannot assess … but what I do notice while drawing is that creating these harmonious shapes and lines brings a deep sense of inner peace within me.

I hope you enjoy my drawings.

What on earth does „Zerpentynez“ mean?

The mystery behind the term is quickly explained: it’s a slightly adventurous spelling of the word „serpentines,“ which describes winding mountain roads and can thus also be used as a synonym for „curves.“ And with that, we’re back to the „curvy lines“ mentioned above – simple enough.

HOE – MOT – EOH – TOM?

The signature is a stylized version of my name „Tom“. To keep the tension high, the signature goes with each new motive into a special slot machine that vigorously spins the signature in 90° steps and then spits it out at a random 90° angle – once more simple enough.

How do you work?

I do a lot of 2 to 5 minute sketches with pencils in my sketchbook. When i like a pose, have time, motivation and an idea for a little story i scan the sketch and make the final artwork in the drawing software „Clip Studio Paint“.
