This series of illustrations is based on female roles and moral values expected of women in traditional and contemporary Spanish society. The aim of this project is to comment on the huge influence of the Catholic church in education and the government’s political and social decisions which have created moral double standards among the population. Values are divided between modernity and tradition, specially among the youth in rural areas.
A feminine universe is portrayed based on female stereotypes, family hierarchies and an ironic vision of religious iconic imagery. Throughout 5 ages of women, the viewer woulddiscover a universe of moral constrictions and social behaviors that constitute ‘How a woman’s life is expected to be and how she should behave according to religious and/or social guidelines’. Each of the images is an altar and homage to the female condition and simultaneously a claim for female freedom of expression and autonomy.

niÑeZ (Childhood)
The power of church over education in Spain can be seen as a powerful way of manipulating the population’s beliefs from a very young age. Fables and tales are used to introduce Catholicism to children. At the same time, gender roles are defined by the social conventions that bring sexism to infant’s lives, emphasizing differentiation between girls and boys.

aDolesCenCia (Adolescence)
In the age of awakening to sexuality and adulthood, the awareness of ‘guilt’ arises in young women’s minds. This piece includes references to the female representations in the Bible and the ‘good’ and the ‘evil’ stereotypes of women: Virgin Mary ‘the mother’ and Eve, the original sinner.

MatriMonio (Marriage)
At a certain age, every girl was expected to get married to attain prestige and social status, with family and society exerting a huge pressure over them. This is an issue that is often associated to developing countries, but that is still happening in western societies, specially in rural areas.

MaterniDaD (Motherhood)
This piece is dedicated to maternity and aims to pay tribute to ancient worships to fertility and the ‘Mother Earth’. Nowadays, positive connotations of femininity are rarely found in Catholic imagery. I wanted to portray the act of giving birth as a brave, powerful decision, and the also the pressure on women of a time limit to do so.

VeJeZ (Ageing)
The influence of the media and established social values make maturity and the loss of beauty a worrying issue. How important is for a woman to look beautiful? Should this be a priority and entitle us to change our own body by artificial means?

Being a tourist, camera in hand, I often encounter strangers that somewhat inspire me so I photograph them without asking for permission. Through the years, I gathered a collection of passers by and I transform them into drawings. We have crossed paths at some point in our lives, but they will never know.
