Dumas often uses reference material of polaroid photographs of her friends and lovers , whilst she also references magazines and pornographic material . She also paints portraits of children and erotic scenes to impact the world of contemporary art . She has said that her works are better appreciated as originals since many of her smaller sexual works are very intimate . With many of her paintings she depicts her friends , models , and prominent political figures .
