Mateja Petkovic's Erotic Art Book 'Milk for my Coconut'

Mateja Petkovic, a Serbian-born artist based in Munich, Germany, has gained international recognition for his erotic paintings, particularly through his book 'Milk for my Coconut' (Editions Caurette, 2023). Petkovic studied Applied Arts in Belgrade and works primarily as a video game developer, but also paints numerous portraits and erotic works. His digital painting technique, informed by his digital background, blends traditional oil and acrylic methods with digital intervention. The book is a collection of explicit erotic and autoerotic scenes, noted for their refined and spectacular execution. Petkovic's work shows influences from Lucian Freud and Jenny Saville, among others. The article, written by Ferruccio Giromini, highlights the artist's ability to depict bodies in love with compositional elegance and emotional engagement.
