Venus 2.0

In this print I appropriate the iconography and composition of the Botticelli's painting "The Birth of Venus", to which I made some adaptations with images that refer to contemporary issues such as environmental pollution, exploitation of natural resources, use and abuse of power as well the high cost of the wars prompted by our "love" of oil in the "birth" of the twenty-first century.

Calaca Jugando de Poeta.

“Calaca jugando de Poeta”. (Death Playing the Poet) I created this to juxtapose poetry with death. Poetry is a reflection of life, so here, I have pictured Death, in the moment of a frustrated attempt to write poetry, in an attempt to seduce the women into the realm of death. On one side of Death, there is the apple , a symbol of sensuality, temptation and ageing, and the other, the hourglass, a symbol of the passage of time.
