The setting is a library, one Madam M’s favourite places. But no ordinary library. The shelves slide back to reveal a very different location, but equally pleasurable to her. Here there are shackles and whips . In her expensive high heels Madam M ascends the library steps and reaches for a book to read.
Of course, it is “Venus in furs”
A simple but powerful portrait of this Mistress from New York state.
The original idea was for a depiction based on a Tarot card, but that gradually developed into a more conventional portrait.
She gazes out at us proudly while her legs are worshipped by two slaves in heavy black leather. Behind her a patterned circle of adoring slaves frame her beautiful features.
For this commission Mistress Scarlett Lush told me that she was the kind of person who would be “burnt as a witch” in previous centuries. This provided the inspiration for the portrait, by imagining her as the one doing the burning, with a victim hanging in a cage.
She wears a vaguely medieval dress with boots and gauntlets and carries a halberd and whip to tease and torment.
Beside her a rather malevolent cat (her familiar) watches us with fiery eyes.
Mistress Scarlett says,
“Getting a portrait from Sardax was such a marker in my career. Ever since I started I dreamed of having a custom Sardax piece. He is such a staple in the femdom community and being able to join the Sardax club makes me so elated!”
A gift from a Brazilian slave to his mistress.
He writes…
“This is a special gift to my beloved mistress, LaDomme. We are longtime fans of your work and proud of being your first customers from Brazil. This portrait marks not only the fourth anniversary of our lifestyle D/s relationship, but also a new phase for us, where much of our plans will come to fruition. Our bond grows stronger, my mistress. Serving you is a lifetime achievement for me.
Thank you. Petix.”
Paris-based Mistress Inanna Justice, originally from the United States, commissioned this unusual double portrait as an expression of her friendship with Parisian dominatrice Madame Lule.
They pose together on an outsized seat beneath which kneel a couple of diminutive slaves
who make desperate efforts to kiss their heels.
Insouciant of their suffering they gaze out of the picture at us,
back to back and joined together in their love for female domination.
Mistress Inanna has recently published a book called “The Heart of the Dominatrix” spotlighting 21 dominatrices from around the world and their views about female domination today.
Maîtresse Blanche is a specialist in medical scenes in her well-equipped studio in France.
She is depicted here in nurses costume with syringe in hand, ready to administer a treatment to the victim bound tightly into a bizarre arrangement of tubes.
To the right another of Maîtresse Blanche’s specialities-a jar of leeches and to the left, the next patient awaits his turn!
A simple classic pose – no-nonsense Mistress Chloe spanks a naughty miscreant, actually the commissioner of the artwork.
Dressed in black skirt and boots, with her right hand in leather glove she lays into his burning cheeks, here picked out in pink coloured pencil.
Berlin-based Lady Johanna sits in her throne while the commissioner of this portrait strains against the collar-chain to worship her heels.
In the background a second slave presents his posterior for an imminent whipping.
A love of entomology and spiders in particular inspired this commission for Natasha Zare .
“Include something about spiders and a throne please”
So the spider throne was born .
Dressed in a tight fitting costume Natasha teases her bound victims with her bizarrely-shaped heels, ridiculing their attempts to approach her.
In the background the detritus of a previous conquest remains captured within her silk web.
A surreal setting for this drawing of Miss Kelle Martina.
(See previous portraits)
I was given a free rein to pursue an imaginative line drawing provided the art included leather, gloves, boots and bondage.
So here she sits on a throne in her palace. A miniature toy beside her, wrapped tightly in bonds and attached by a leash, symbolically portrays her dominance.
Through the window we can see a high tower with a high heel pinnacle, and perhaps through the window of that tower a similar scene is happening?
