“Behind the scenes” is a series of intervened drawings that depict the profoundly personal space where a woman reveals her authentic self without pretensions. In the intimacy of her room she lets go of the roles she’s had to play because she is exhausted by having to maintain appearances and live up to society’s expectations. While her body slowly frees itself form subjection and rigidity she becomes deeply aware of her individuality and authentic self. The golden stool, the pedestal that annuls her uniqueness through objectification, lies in the empty space where she has lost herself. The absence of her shadow affirms her self-repudiation for incarnating these notions of obedience and selflessness forced upon her. In this sacred space, out of public view, we perceive that the body refuses to be molded and resists being subjected and controlled. The body comes back to its natural and spontaneous nature. She is, at last, essentially and deeply herself.

Creative expression not only requires an understanding of art, but also of the self. When one is repressed, consciously or unconsciously, art can be an effective means of expression and a powerful instrument used to examine and consider social issues and matters of human oppression. The essence of femininity itself, as well as the ideals of womanhood that have been created throughout history have become the fundamental issues expressed in my work. Granting this process has been a personal journey, I am aware it is not that different from other women’s experiences throughout life. As women we all face similar issues regarding the roles imposed upon us and the deep consequences this has on our lives. We are programmed, from a very early age, to be submissive, selfless, and obedient. Eventually we learn to forget who we really are. For the past years, I have been using the female figure as a powerful form through painting, drawing and other means of expressing these ideas. Its sensual and organic nature enables me to reveal the sense of powerlessness and alienation that come from the fear of being true to ourselves. The subtleness of the female figure allows me to portray the natural disposition we have to fade away from our own individuality, thus suggesting a sense of tacit abuse and confinement.
