The Thirteen Roses

I decided to stamp myself on the canvas and thus make my particular tribute to these 14 anonymous women, silenced victims, like many others, of the Spanish civil war. Their only crime was to think for themselves.

Las Trece Rosas is the collective name given to a group of thirteen young people, half of them members of the Unified Socialist Youth (JSU), shot by the Franco regime in Madrid on August 5, 1939, shortly after end the Spanish Civil War. Their ages ranged from 18 to 29 years. The Thirteen Roses were Carmen Barrero Aguado, Martina Barroso García, Blanca Brisac Vázquez, Pilar Bueno Ibáñez, Julia Conesa Conesa, Adelina García Casillas, Elena Gil Olaya, Virtudes González García, Ana López Gallego, Joaquina López Laffite, Dionisia Manzanero Salas, Victoria Muñoz García and Luisa Rodríguez de la Fuente. In fact, there were fourteen women shot, because the previous ones must be joined by Antonia Torre Yela, who was shot on February 19, 1940. * (four were minors).

I created based on my own feeling, my own experience, my own reality. From my personal search, broke through with strength an art that try to portray our society which includes me, forcefully made its way. A corporatocratic and heteropatrialcal society that has managed to define us, narrow ourselves, confront and disconnect us. An apathetic society, without a critical spirit. A society that keeps mistreating women. A scary society, a lonely society. After years and years of my life experiences in which I fulfilled all the stereotypes that society expected froms women: servility, obedience, care… and trying to please the others, I forgot who I am. I have been disconnected from my essence and I was collapsed. From that point with no return, being disconnected from my inner, feeling that no hope exists I was reconnected through art. Looking for my own personal balance through art. The art with which I aspire to punch consciences, touch feelings and cause emotion. The art that tries to generate reflection from the beauty. And that’s why I paint and sculpt myself repetitively, and I paint and sculpt other women as well. My creative energy is born by empathy, love, reclaim the right to be and empowerment. My women embrace life beyond labels, aesthetic stereotypes and social constraints. They intend to make the world more fair and a place more harmonious in which there is no gender, no race, or any other type of discrimination, in which we love and care each other unconditionally an timelessly accepting diversity. Summarizing all the above and with respect the environment and humanity I ought to use sustainable and reusable materials. I want the trace of my artwork embrace the world in which we live, in a final organic return from were it comes from
