the artist must be fond with nudity and such depiction is his fascination and repression

Yes,I choose to paint what appeals to me in visible world. That should not be some revelatory confession. Nudity is eminently a worthy subject for painting and I have never repressed that attraction .Where, Ruth did you get that rather outdated "freudism" repression? Do you know me to be repressed? Are you sure that you have the necessary intellectual groundwork in theory of principles of art to publicly express yourself on this, somewhat esoteric matters?

A blind diver in itself makes one suspect because why would someone wish to be a diver if they are blind? This leads one to divine that the blind diver may be a metaphor for the archetype of Ulysses- the sailor that risks journies into the "unknown". Maritime law can also be a symbol of the masculine restless energy of Faust in his futile exploits. These exploits can only represent the female energy the original landscape( nature) as the struggle between the ego and the id ( Captain Ahab and the white whale). The diver as a sailor in the employ of " Empire" touches upon the cosmic energy of the earth represented herein as a female but is blind to it otherwise. Being blind to this energy He can only stumble upon it due to karma and not by in Jungian terminology an integration between animas and anima! He is unconscious or blind to it due to his equally perverse desire to exploit it !

Oh, dear- someone was reading Freud too much and too long. In exegesis of the content of my art one has to push aside long-ridiculed psychoanalysis and look directly at what is actually inside of the image. A diver that went blind and seems lost in the ship graveyard in the background. However the painting shows that touch might be his new epistemic instrument. That is all: no animas, no animals and no yungs were used in its production.
