Deviation of the Spine Study 8

Concept

"My name is Veronica Huacuja (wu-a-koo-ha). I am a painter and an art coach that was born and lives in Mexico City.

In my ""Art and Radiology Artwork"" ), the man and its precarious condition (temporality, decay, fragility...) is the central topic of my work. Some initial sources that I use are radiological medical studies done to sick, genderless and, sometimes, anonymous persons. I like to call the results of my work as “Human Landscapes”. By this category I mean to explore the carnal material that we humans are made from.

In my “Portrait Artwork” and ""Human Body Artwork"" collections, I work special characters that are in borderline situations. This means that the artworks are dramatic and in most of them I try to grasp their “exasperated beauty” (1).

My artistic influences are from many Latin American, American and European painters of all times. Nevertheless, my work has a strong influence on Francis Bacon artist's oeuvre.

The pictorial currents of my work are figurative and semi-figurative.

The mediums and techniques of my choice are oil, acrylic on canvas or paper in small (letter size) and medium format (100 x 80 cm or so). And I add one I like so much to work with: digital painting.

Hope you enjoy the work and thank you for visiting!
