About The Artwork
This artwork is a Dyptich. It is composed by two prints total the given size. With this documental self-portrait (without photoshop or any kind of image manipulation) giving birth I want to challenge most of maternities in films, advertising and all of art history. These maternities re-enforce the stereotypes that impart from heterosexual masculine fantasies, in which exist the duality of the mother/whore, making sacred all that has to do with the “mother” (maternity with veil included). With these photos I wanted to show a maternity from my experience in which to give birth I open, I transform, I bleed, I scream and I smile. I am standing up, with the placenta still inside me, linked to my baby by the umbilical cord and I decide when to photograph the birth. I am the protagonist. I am a hero. By giving birth I take off my “cultural” veil. My maternity is not virginal not aseptic. I am the archetype of the primal woman, the woman beast that has nothing prohibited. I show a maternity not seen through the eyes of Eve (the divine punishment ”you will give birth with the pain of your body”) but seen through the eyes of Lucy (the earliest hominid found to date). These pieces had been exhibited in many international prestigious galleries and had been featured in books and magazines. This artwork is a diptych. Photographs are printed in separate paper. Left piece measures 110 x 74 cm and the other piece measures 110 x 150 cm. Price is for the diptych. Prints are high quality Canson Infinity aquarelle rag 240 grms. *Small size available 10 H x 7 W inch + 10 H x 13.44 Inches 650$ + shipping - Edition of 15
