into the woods: broken leg, bleach hair & cigarette

Family history, borken leg, grandson with disorders, past, exile this were the things I had in mind when started this paiting.

This is the first painting in the series, it is the seed that has not yet been defined, which later on led to the expansion of the concepts in the paintings to follow. I have decided to incorporate this painting into my candidacy since it is here, where I started my project, Into the woods. Although it has important autobiographical notes, the bizarre life of this relative, plus the remoteness and emotional distance that I felt before this woman makes her a strange and extravagant character, just like those of the circuses, and offers me the possibility of observing her carefully as under a microscope, without any attachment. She became an almost expressionless character, hence the black glasses, and I highlight her attributes that have remained the most in my adolescent memory.
