CATALOGUE

The exhibition, which compiles recent and unpublished works by this artist, is inten- ded to serve as a new launching pad to boost her extensive career in art, to which,
from different perspectives, she has devoted her entire life.

For this artist, creation is a catalyst, a powerful harmonious device that accomplishes a result charged with soul and beauty. Sensuality, self-confidence and awareness, achie- ving a perfect balance between sensitivity and frivolity. A work carried out with great flair, generosity and discipline; resulting in cool, text-based art that is tasteful, visual, and charged with criticism and commitment, without falling into cliché.

The concept of this project revolves around an introspec- tive, sensitive and intimate fiction that explores the evolu- tion of the stages of a woman’s life, from a modern perspec- tive, with the core idea of female empowerment in the quest for gender equality.

The exhibition is conceived as a personal reflection of the artist herself, a projection of the psyche of the modern woman defining desires, wishes and goals which are common to all. She addresses these metaphorically, while displaying her sentiment for what she has already achieved in her li- fe-course perspective.

All of this, from a consistent aesthe- tic standpoint, with great coherence, and a truly contem- porary sense of beauty, which in turn respects the classical canons of art.

The layout of the exhibition consists of two installations, a video creation and a series of two-dimensional portraits made with mixed techniques, and entitled with the caption that gives the project its name. The series consists of fema- le images enveloped in a fanciful, spectral aura and holds strong symbolic elements. The different birds on the heads of the women she paints represent the artist’s own facets that she wants to highlight. Strength, freedom or money, beauty, creativity or success, among others.

Forthright, thought-provoking art, full of honesty and strength, giving great emphasis to atmospheres; fictitious, artificial and electrifying, which recreate an attractive, id- yllic, utopian world to live in today, somewhere between poetry and illusion.
