About The Artwork
When Maddie was just two years old, she began her artistic career that included dance, acting and modeling. It is easy to find endless images of the girl throughout her career in which it is difficult to recognize her true identity. This girl is currently 20 years old and after her numerous followers. I wonder where I can rescue something of the veracity of his being? What do her fans really follow in the face of the multiplicity of versions of herself? When we talk about model people, we are referring to a standard that may be an ideal, but what happens if that mold is variable and unstable? Could this mold hide an unknown but perhaps more beautiful reality? Searching among so many images of the model, I wanted to undertake the task of rescuing something of authenticity, something lasting. I noticed that under different colored wigs and different outfits an absolutely different being seemed to hide each time, where then could I find the real Maddie? In the exercise of drawing, I seek to return something from childhood to the children that I find in advertising images through my strokes. I applied this idea to Maddie's case, hoping it would reveal something. The only clue I got to was his eyes. In some images, like the ones that make up this series, I was able to see the being behind the disguise, that self that is known to be unique and permanent, the one that experiences and acts, the being that also observes while being observed.

My drawings are never the product of my imagination. I reproduce those images that I find in children's fashion magazines, advertising, and all kinds of media, which affect me in one way or another. Most of the images I choose to draw, are the images that no longer have room in my head, and I need to process because I simply do not understand. It is something like: “Hey, wait a second, what I'm seeing?” I then need to externalize it, and this helps me to understand the state of our society. When I paint I do not use traditional art means such as oils, paintings and those stuff. I like to color like children do. With my own childish stroke, I feel I can build a language that allows a greater understanding of childhood in today's society. For me, the colors are life, and in the case of my work, these colors give life to that which has been forgotten and which we have left behind. Today we see children in different conflicting situations. Girls and boys are mothers, fathers, models, prostitutes, soldiers, etc. It seems as if we lived in a world without childhood, without beginning, but with a premeditated end. I believe in childhood, in that light spectrum emanating from their own essence and which I try to materialize with my work. Regardless of the conditions, which children had to live, a child is always a child, and he will never cease to be. Because their nature is untouchable, alive, full of colors, no one and nothing can alter it. Mass media may try to change our mind, they might even make us forget, but no one will ever lose the child within, who is always full of life and color.
