Artwork Statement

I start from the historical experience of women in the arts and the conflicts lived in a historical process that reaches until today, and taking as a reference the atmospheres and themes of the Pre-Raphaelite style of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; whose counterpart was in the movement of women artists who revolutionized nineteenth-century art in England, many of them photographers.
With the references in the "Pictorealism" and the "Mythology of the Sirens" mentioned for the first time by Homer (VII century B.C.), according to the latter, if a man is able to resist the voice of a siren she must die when she is ignored and defeated. The play "The Odyssey" is about me and many women "those who bind and unbind/chain", fish-women of great beauty and with a precious voice, who have always been the wife, the daughter, the muse or the lover "of", but never women with a voice. Photography with a staged and symbolic narrative, with no intention of literalism. More akin to a personal vision born of the need to connect the human with reality and the divine.
