The beauty of the female body, captured so masterfully, never ceases to amaze.
— Jorge A. Lopez
Below, we highlight some of Jorge’s latest sketches, each paired with the reference photo that sparked his creativity.
Ludmila: A Marble Goddess
Jorge describes his sketch of Ludmila as an homage to the female form, comparing her to a marble statue, “Her marble body almost seems to have been sculpted by the gods, her proportions are beautiful, and her torso is simply glorious.” Inspired by classical European art, Jorge draws a connection between Ludmila’s pose and the works of Lucas Cranach the Elder, particularly in the way Cranach approached the female body with reverence and detail. In Jorge’s words, “The quality of the light and the beauty of the pose make this an extraordinary reference”.

Venus and Mars: Blazena and Steven
In Jorge’s sketch of Blazena, he captures the model’s graceful pose, focusing on the delicate balance of light and shadow. As Jorge mentions, the dim lighting in the reference adds a dramatic chiaroscuro effect, reminiscent of the works of the Renaissance masters like Leonardo da Vinci. He writes, “Blazena would have been, without a doubt, an ideal model for Leonardo… her beautiful curves, worthy of being praised, are more typical of a goddess than a mortal.” This sketch is a testament to Jorge’s ability to evoke the timeless beauty of classical art.

Olivia Sparkle: The Sacrifice of Iphigenia
In his latest sketch, Jorge takes inspiration from Homer’s epic The Iliad, recreating the emotional depth of The Sacrifice of Iphigenia. He found the perfect reference in Olivia Sparkle’s pose, noting, “Olivia’s pose is charming, because it captures all of her femininity—it’s sensual but at the same time fragile.” Jorge’s attention to detail and ability to translate the emotion from the reference photo into his artwork is what makes his work stand out. He once again connects classical themes with modern reference tools, creating a bridge between past and present in his artistic process.
