The Story behind "Forbidden Fruit" Series

As a metaphor outside of the Abrahamic religions, the phrase typically refers to any indulgence or pleasure that is considered illegal or immoral.
But, “The forbidden fruit for women” has meant the prohibition of many things: Knowledge, freedom, sex, expression, autonomy…

As a Latin American Feminist Woman and Artist, I explore the depths of feminine experience through this pictoric series called “Forbidden Fruit”. Each piece in this series is a testament to my personal quest for self-discovery, empowerment, and creative expression. Drawing inspiration from my own life experiences and the broader struggle for gender equality, these paintings delve into themes of female sexuality, autonomy, and resilience. Through bold imagery, symbolic depth, and raw emotion, this series seeks to capture the essence of the feminine spirit’s enduring quest for liberation and authenticity.

"...In Silence"

“In Silence” reflects on the internal struggles and limiting beliefs that hindered my creative expression for years. Through introspection and self-observation, the painting captures the pivotal moment of reclaiming artistic passion and embracing vulnerability as a catalyst for creative growth and fulfillment.

"Emancipation"

“Emancipation” boldly confronts the patriarchal norms that have historically marginalized and objectified women’s bodies. With striking imagery and symbolic depth, the painting symbolizes a reclaiming of autonomy and agency over my own sexuality and identity, advocating for the liberation of women from societal expectations and constraints.
