Artist Statement: “Uprising after the Femicide is a reproduction of a large-scale hand-painted woodcut print. The central figure is an Insurgent-Woman-Spirit in a balaclava mask with blood pouring down from her chest, rising from the ground where her own bones lie on top of a dahlia surrounded by Aztec ruins. The piece was created with the aim of raising awareness about the Juaréz femicides. However, it holds many layers of content that relate to colonialism and neo-colonialism, women’s emancipation, nature’s destruction, and exploring the complexity of emotions that one suffers after being subjected to forms of oppression, violence and abuse. The result is the uprising of the Magical –Insurgent- Spirits that populate the Aztec territory and lead a mystical battle in which they are victorious. This piece was formally influenced by religious paintings from the 1400’s to 1500’s. Elements that caught my attention, particularly in Christian paintings from that era, were their extremely bloody visual narrative and symbolism. Tenebrist painting and Latino-American art from the colonial period can also be counted as visual influences.”
