casimira: authenticity

"My aim: never copy.  Create a new style, light, brilliant colours, and sense the elegance in your models."
- Tamara de Lempicka (1898-1980)

It is one thing is to be influenced by other artists, designers.

It is quite another thing to copy.

To copy is to have no shame and no self-worth, worse yet – no voice.

How can you be proud of yourself if you copy?

Authenticity matters to me.
