Chanel Huele a Copacabana Painting

With this serie Natalie Otalora approaches Consumerism and Women empowerment. Consumerism and the way it shapes our wants, desires, and longings in such a way that we want not simply to acquire things because they are useful, but more so, because of what they say about us and mean to us. Chanel N.5 is the elixir that became the worlds most wanted and iconic fragrance of all times for decades and decades. It became a scent that can smell radically different from one woman to another, remarking that each woman is different and beautiful in her own essence. “I remember seeing those amazing CHANEL advertising campaigns on billboards and magazines as a child and wondering if I'd ever be grown-up enough to wear Chanel myself” Natalie Otalora uses Chanel as a symbol of elegance, luxury and pure women empowerment.
