MARÍA DEL CARMEN DÍEZ - Nineteen fifty-fifty
Technique: Burin, giclée printing on Japanese paper, chine collé and embossed linoleum
Artist Biography: She has received a grant as an artistic engraver from the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre de Madrid, and among her most recent grants are also the Plastic Arts of the Province of Valladolid, Residence for Contemporary Print Bólit Centre d'Art Contemporani and Ema de Girona, Grant for artists of the Artist Book Fair of Castilla y León, among others. He has won several awards including the Carmen Arozena International Graphic Art Award, Certamen de Print José Caballero, EAC Awards, as well as the Open Portfolio Award at the International Fair of Print FIG Bilbao.Las Horas encompasses diverse graphic creative processes that act against the symbology proposed by our patriarchal visual imaginary. The chosen title recovers the name of these mythological divinities that promoted fertility and embodied the passing of time for man. Each Print of the series is part of a specific time that symbolizes the passage of time of these harmful stereotypes subscribed to women. The Hours recover a feminine posture inspired by engravings where the rise of the burin technique and the counterfiber Print configured an aesthetic in the representation of allegories, transferred to our culture through different visual channels, as well as by its continuous symbolic and allegorical references to women as a natural entity. This series aims to raise awareness about artistic practice when it comes to represent and act as an educational catalyst in our look through images, thus generating an analysis of the social and cultural codes that affect our daily lives.
