history of art and the roles that women
play in contemporary society. I utilize as
symbols the real feminine beauty behind
the cosmetic, the fancy dress and social
classes. I try to project all the natural and
superficial characteristics that society
drives you to assume. To do this I employ
the mediums of painting, photography
and sculptural installations, all to better
illustrate and emphasize true feminine
beauty and womanhood.

The series titled Multiple Personality
Disorder is also a performance work
documented in photography of what
appear to be seven women, represented
by myself, each with different styles,
personalities, and professions. Each
lives in a world, whether real or
imaginary, where they feel incomplete
and misunderstood. This body of work
presents the possible double or even
multiple numbers of lives women can
sometimes lead simultaneously, whether
it is because of social, cultural or personal
convention.

Monster Women is a performance and
photo series inspired in the “monsters”
that reside within the imaginary of popular
culture and believe exist behind some
social stereotypes. I use the modality of
the classic monster to express a series of
commentaries about the realities of these
characters; that not all of these monsters
are evil by nature, sometimes they turn into
even bigger monsters because they have
been judged or marginalized. Continuing
with my central theme of analyzing the
roles of women in society I have adopted
the concrete characterization, as a woman
aware that sometimes these judgments
are also pinned on women. Some women
receive the same skewed interpretation
as these monsters.
This series also explores how this concept
of interpretation and modeling comes up
in literature to speak of controversial or
contradictory subjects within society and
within us.
