Studio per Uomo Drawing

Being a Mexican artist in Europe is a challenge! A double challenge, first because I am a foreigner, and then because I am a woman. The live texture and impression is much better, guaranteed! - My paintings contribute to gender equality in art and break stereotypes. I avoid being part of a patriarchal community that creates self-referential image of masculinity. With my paintings I contribute to that chapter of the history of the art that we are missing, that feminine vision towards the nude male human figure. - - The human body’s vision has been dominated by men, even after more than 20 centuries of classical art history. Today, women painters focus on their own bodies and leave the artistic statements about men's bodies to male painters. My paintings break this vision of the naked human figure, that has been dominated by men artist throughout the art history. My paintings show men’s vulnerability, not the patriarchal gaze that for centuries enjoyed life at the expense of women. My feminine gaze shows the image of the other side of the masculinity, which positively deals with one's own weakness to develop a healthy masculinity, accepting the fragility of the body without the need to show strength. - ©FabiolaQuezada
