Si hiciésemos una encuesta para saber cuántos pintores conocemos, la mayoría consultada mencionaría a Goya, Velázquez o Van Gogh, pero con seguridad no se hallaría a ninguna mujer en esta lista. Como si no hubiesen existido, pero no es verdad, existieron muchas y excelentes pintoras.
¿Por qué no las conocemos? Porque a lo largo de los siglos han estado escondidas en conventos en el Medievo o dedicándose a labores domésticas en el Renacimiento...

“Room To Grow” is a collection of my poetry and artwork that depicts female empowerment and nature as a symbol of intuition and growth. Art gives us purpose and allows us to get closer to our divinity connecting with the spirit and of the soul when words are not enough. When I am creating a piece, what excites me the most is that I'm drawing upon these energies that almost seems like a dance on the canvas. My movements and color placement seem...

Te quiero viva, burra es una súplica. La frase original es el grito de Julio Cortázar intentando, sin éxito,rescatar del abismo a Alejandra Pizarnik, pero sirve para salvar la memoria de otras muchas. Porque la libertad tiene, cuando se nace mujer a destiempo, más de castigo que de recompensa. Muchas de ellas pagaron un precio muy alto. Algunas incluso su propia vida. Casi todas el silencio cuando no el desprecio por su valentía y su talento.
