La petite mort is an expression which means "the brief loss or weakening of consciousness" and in modern usage refers specifically to "the sensation of post orgasm as likened to death."

Fascinated by psychology, sexuality, love and death 'La Petite Mort' seemed a suitable phrase to frame some of my darker works which explore these themes.
I use the PetiteMort 'brand' to share some of my more abstract styles alongside some more refined portraiture and classic works. I'm fascinated the the study of facial expressions, peoples perceptions of themselves and thoughts about how they want to be perceived and their relationship to others.
