Mandalas on women artists
Series of 7 ink and graphite drawings on paper
50 x 50 cm. each
2017
This work is a personal exercise of revaluation of some women artists already recognized. With the aim of projecting an image of the women creators reinforced and claimed, I elaborated this series of drawings in the form of mandalas, inspired by the work of some of the great female masters in the 20th-century art. The artists I chose are: Louise Bourgeois, Frida Kahlo, Hanne Darboven, Georgia O'Keeffe, Patricia Gadea, Lygia Clark and Ana Mendieta. The visual elements with which I worked to compose these drawings were symbolic images taken from the artistic universe of these seven women artists. I carried out a selection of symbols that are recurrent in the artistic production of these artists and which are identified intimately with their work. In this way, I sought to reconstruct a powerful frame of reference to be aware of the influence exerted by the work of these women artists and to reaffirm their mythification.
