WORK OF ART EXVOTOS PAINTINGS

Exvotos:

Gratitud al milagro de sobrevivir a una vida llena de infortunios. (Gratitude for the miracle of surviving a life full of misfortunes.)

It is a series of pictorial works and plastic pieces located in chronological order and in sequence from 1980 to 2020, I narrate my biography through family situations which entailed difficulties for being in many ways different from the established. In this work I explore and reflect on the traditional ex-voto culture from a contemporary and ironic point of view.

I used the concept of narrative ex-voto as a means of expression because of its structure: image and text, which is reminiscent of a comic vignette, in addition, the ex-voto is autobiographical in principle. The Leitmotiv or center of the work is the gratitude to all the misfortunes, circumstances, objects or people that forged my life and empowered the artist I am today.

The work I worked in chronological order, as I was creating, the technique was mutating from white / black ink to full color, this detail accentuated the idea of advancement in the decades. The result is a subversive and moving work.

· A pesar del régimen.
Gracias a la Virgen de la Nube porque concedió a mi madre el milagro de mantenerme con vida cada día que regresó para que evalúen mis signos vitales. Estando prematura y respirando en la termo cuna, fuimos obligadas a salir de la maternidad porque afuera el régimen sometía a los huelguistas y los gases envolvían el lugar.

· Despite the regime's.
Thanks to the Virgin of the Cloud because she granted my mother the miracle of keeping me alive every day that she returned to evaluate my vital signs. Being premature and breathing in the thermo cradle, we were forced to leave the maternity ward because outside the regime subdued the strikers and gases enveloped the place.

SERIES:
MEN WORKING, 2022

There are occupations and jobs that many of us depend on, but are invisible. Only the moment we look back reminds us of its beauty; perhaps we connect with something that made us smile for a few seconds. This series of paintings in mixed media is a tribute to the skilled hands of men that have endured over time and continue rambling on the streets.

Serie: Retrto

SERIE: PORTRAITS DAILY, 2021

My portraits tell everyday, urban stories and the environment with which I identify. I think their beauty is interesting and captivates me, so it deserves to be told.
