Acrylics paint, embroidery and recycle jute coffee sack
Chilling out is as important as being active, taking time out to simply relax or do what you feel like boosts health, creativity and work performance.
This series of nudes is my way of expressing that feeling of love and care for oneself and for our body. Our body is our greatest support and a companion for life that reflects what happens in our emotional world, from which we are usually disconnected. Thanks to our body we are here, without a body there is no life, when it doesn't work, nothing around us works, but when it works, we are able to reach the moon with our hands.
This work has been created with recycled jute (Latin American coffee bags) and embroidery. Lately I am exploring materials that allow me to create a more sustainable and environmentally conscious art, in my process the recycled jute coffee bags are painted, cut and reconstructed in organic abstracts and arcing contour body silhouettes. I also use embroidery in my works as a tool for female empowerment and peaceful protest, I consider the embroidery as a space of freedom, introspection, self-knowledge and sisterhood.
