Masturbating Beauties: In Conversation with the Spanish Painter Pictor Mulier

As said in our interview with the Canadian surrealist "O", an increasing amount of sensual artists are looking for a sufficient place to display their daring outings in their full glory.

Today we speak with the Spanish painter Pictor Mulier, known for his daring nude portraits...

What can you tell about your background, education, introduction to (erotic) art...etc.?


I began studying academic drawing at the age of 12, attending an art school after regular classes. Those years were dedicated to still lifes and statues. As Salvador Dalí used to say: technique, rigor, and craftsmanship.
During high school, live models were introduced into the classes and… I fell in love with the human body.
Later, at university (the Faculty of Fine Arts of Salamanca), I formed a small group to extend our life drawing sessions. We hired a fellow student and added an extra daily hour in which the model changed poses every few minutes. In that very happy period, I produced hundreds of quick nude sketches.
After graduating, I began working in the world of graphic design and advertising, where I still make my living. Yet I continued painting and drawing portraits and nudes.
One day I posted some nude paintings on Facebook. A few days later, a woman contacted me and offered to pose. I told her I could not afford to pay her modeling fee. She replied that all she asked was for me to publish her portrait in as many places as possible because she was deeply aroused by being seen naked.
That was my first encounter with the universe of exhibitionism, and it forever changed the course of my painting.
This woman introduced me to a friend who shared the same desire to be seen naked, and from there began a chain of contacts with others who felt the same.
In recent years I have painted many amateur exhibitionists, as well as professional erotic actresses and models, women who want to be admired and who are proud of their sexuality.
This assertive attitude of my models towards their bodies and sexuality has allowed me, through art, to explore aspects of female desire that many people ignore. I am proud to contribute to my models’ pleasure through painting. Every canvas carries a real story behind it, a story filled with eroticism, desire, liberation, and intense pleasure. I could not imagine painting anything better.

How would you describe your art?


Fearless art for free souls.

That is my motto.
I am well aware that my paintings provoke rejection in many people, and that the narrative in each canvas often prevails over style or technique.
Frankly, I couldn’t care less.
My art is bold. It is for free spirits, for those who love eroticism, pleasure, and the human body. It is a way of affirming, together with my models, the right of women to embrace and express their sexuality freely, especially when it defies convention.
I adore my models and admire their courage to confront puritanical society with their naked bodies, their acts, and their defiant gaze.
I believe my art is ultimately a hymn to life and beauty.

Who and/or what are your influences?


Of course, classical painting in all its forms, especially the art of the 18th and 19th centuries, from the Baroque period to Impressionism.
I am also deeply influenced by the world of comics and illustration. I have been collecting comics since my adolescence, and I feel immense admiration for this art form.
Cinema and literature are my other passions, and they certainly inspire the ideas and visual concepts in my work. At present, I am working with professional dancers on a series of paintings that offer an erotic vision of the most iconic scenes from musical cinema

How do you use your models? Are they the starting point of your work?


I work with models from all over the world. If they live far away, they send me photographs or videos (the latter is preferable), and I paint from those references. If they live nearby, I prefer to take the photographs or record the video myself.
I usually compensate my models with original works in exchange for their collaboration. Some, like Leina, already have a remarkable collection of my paintings hanging on their walls!
As for the starting point, there are always two possibilities that sometimes overlap: either a fantasy of the model or one of my own.
I always agree with my models on every detail of the painting to obtain their consent and complicity regarding pose and setting.
The pictorial treatment, however, is solely my decision.

Are you familiar with shunga art? If so, what are your thoughts about it?


Yes, my first contact came during adolescence, through a photography magazine called ZOOM that my father used to buy. In one of its issues, although it was specialized in photography, there was a feature on Japanese erotic prints.
Naturally, it caught my attention, as all erotic art did, and I was especially struck by the explicitness of the scenes.
In fact, shunga was my very first encounter with erotic art that represented sexually explicit scenes. I was fascinated, and it made me realize that the limits of art are only cultural boundaries. There is as much beauty and artistry in a portrait as there is in a couple making love.

What is your favorite film? And why?


That is a very difficult question for someone like me, who adores cinema.
There are countless magnificent films, but I will give you a meaningful answer: the film I have watched the most times is All That Jazz.
I love its story –almost an autobiography of director Bob Fosse– its dance scenes imbued with eroticism, its music, and its poetic treatment of the encounter with death.
Eros and Thanatos.
And in erotic cinema, I greatly enjoyed The Key (La chiave), a 1983 Italian erotic film directed by Tinto Brass and starring the incomparably beautiful Stefania Sandrelli.

Thank you very much for this interview and for giving me the opportunity to share my fearless art with the free souls who read these pages.
