About The Artwork

The Quickest Way to the Heart Maria Raquel Cochez's recent work is nourished by new motifs and unknown statements. Yes, the theme of food was always associated to pain and addiction in the immediate past in her body of work, and the images that the artist brought us were permeated with anxiety and dark humor. In this recent debut, the overeater does not show us the road of desperation, but the shortest road to the heart. This show is composed of seven photographs and a black and white photorealistic painting that suggest the topic of interpersonal relationships, particularly, the love bonds through something so daily as food. The artist's labor has always been to convert the ordinary into extraordinary; and here, Maria Raquel Cochez's view introduces a dislocation between the everyday and the previous meanings of her work. The pleasure of good eating becomes a metaphor of a loving coexistence and the pleasure of sharing. Furthermore, the name of this series, "Mammals" remits us to our aspects of superior animals, always half way in between our most basic instincts and our most noble impulses. From the scope of daily life, Maria Raquel proposes the enjoyment of mutual company with an open mouthed affection in which when the pleasure of nourishing the body is present, the soul is nourished as well. Gladys Turner-Bosso- Panamá El camino más corto para llegar al corazón La obra reciente de María Raquel Cochez se nutre de nuevos motivos e inéditos enunciados. Si bien, el tema de la comida siempre estuvo asociado al dolor y la adicción en el pasado inmediato del cuerpo de su obra, y las imágenes que la artista nos brindaba tenían un tinte de ansiedad y humor negro, en este recién estrenado giro, la comilona no nos señala el camino de la desesperación, sino la vía más corta para llegar al corazón. Forman parte de esta muestra una serie de fotografías y una pieza fotorrealista en blanco y negro que plantean el tema de las relaciones interpersonales, y particularmente, la de los vínculos amorosos, a través de algo tan cotidiano como lo es la comida. La labor del artista siempre ha sido la de convertir lo ordinario en extraordinario; y aquí la mirada de María Raquel Cochez nos introduce en una dislocación tanto de lo cotidiano, como de los antiguos significados de su propia obra. El placer del buen yantar se convierte en una metáfora del convivio amoroso y del placer de compartir. Además, el nombre de esta serie, “Mamíferos” nos remite a nuestro aspecto de animales superiores, siempre a medio camino entre los instintos más básicos y los impulsos más nobles. Desde el ámbito de la vida diaria, María Raquel replantea el goce de la compañía mutua en el ágape afectuoso en el que mientras se comparte el placer de nutrir el cuerpo, también se alimenta el alma.

My work and investigations focus on the female existence within established concepts of beauty. Through a variety of media it discovers, exposes, and challenges aesthetic standards that create familiar archetypes, and presents visual realities that both invite and defy aesthetic expectations. My art records the damage that pervasive beauty canons and limited definitions of these create in a group and in an individual’s perception of body, beauty, and self worth. It documents countervailing declarations of beauty and historical shifts in standards and their subjectivity. It explores a series of visual commonalities-- aesthetic systems within a class, culture, or social structure. In my immersive surveys of communities of different classes of women, I observe the varying definitions of beauty that form collectively and organically, or are passed down inter-generationally despite prevailing global standards.
