Yolanda Dorda

Yolanda Dorda studied sculpture at the Pablo Picasso School of Art and her work now explores sexuality and the female form.

‘In my erotic paintings I want no aspect of sexual play to go unexamined, I depict female bodies and faces, with which I want to find the pure expression of female ecstasy, enjoying her own pleasure through the body. The vision I show is born from my condition as a woman, it is a purely feminine vision, I do not seek the satisfaction of the male gaze, for me it is something more intimate, the manifestation of feminine pleasure without taboos.’ – Yolanda Dorda

Yolanda collaborated with Vogue from 2018 – 2020 illustrating 13 episodes of erotic stories by Berlin writer Carmen Buttjer.
