Exposición: Galería Rafael Pérez Hernando. Madrid, 2009
Una vez quedé sorprendida al escuchar a un familiar hablarle a una fotografía: –No te moriste, te murieron. No desapareciste, te desaparecieron, –decía desconsolada. Desde esa cita aparentemente sin sentido pero enormemente bella y poderosa y, como si yo fuera la persona retratada en la fotografía, aparece esta serie de pinturas.

I once was surprised to hear a family member whisper sadly, while talking to a loved one’s photograph, “You never died, they killed you. You didn’t disappear, they erased you”.
Taking this tragic but beautiful and powerful story as a reference, I imagined being the photographed person who somebody cries for, and decided to paint “The day they ‘died’ me” (or “The day they killed me”).
