Femineo

A scaly skin clads the surface of the artwork, assembled in repetitive modules. The geometry of the micro elements that compose it is violently broken by a bony protuberance that cuts through the work’s space going towards the beholder.

This work is the freeze-frame of a moment of suffering, a dynamic representation of a paimful process of growth.

How strong must a woman be to succeed in society?

Perseverance, metaforically represented by the horn, wins with pain the resistance of an hostile world and makes its way through the crinkles of the skin, that becomes coriaceous.

The skin’s colour is the only delicate element left.
