MARTA BELTRÁN

Spain, 1977

RUIZ LINARES

My project work explores the expansion of drawing from the daily record in small format towards a monumental format that attends to the presence of my body and the physical space. The main motivation is the representation of the female figure as an expression of unconscious and emotional contents. From the identification with fictional practices carried out by women, or with women as protagonists in cinema and literature, I intend to approach a new subjective narration.
In these moments, the approach deals with the existence of an identity in crisis, reinterpreting images from genre cinema: horror and fantasy, in its encounter with the supernatural. The search wants to take a step towards the how it was made, the special effect that shows the process of the creation of monsters and models, contextualised in the art workshop of a film.
