VENUS



"Ode to liberation and the flow offertility of each one, whether living or inert."



This one you're about to see is mine.

It could not be made of flesh, but of art.

“What was hidden comes to light”


Painting that uses a mannequin as a canvas in which

The artist expresses his statement of intent:


To reveal from the depths of their hidden work.




VENUS

It is the exhibition debut and the gateway that will lead to showing

the complete works of

MARTA DEL RIO

whom she considers,

such as their fertility.


“My descendants are

What you are about to see is my legacy.”


Earthly dimension

The representation of blood

that expels the ovum has

a meaning associated with life and the desire for immortal transcendence.


Menstruation is precisely

the ability to be fertile although

when it manifests itself externally,

It is a sign and indicates that a new being has not been conceived.


Divine dimension

The golden chromatic that surrounds the outline of the red pigment

symbolizes its sacred character,

since VENUS as a goddess

of fertility, grants ability

of having offspring like

legacy in this world.


What was hidden comes to light

The basis of female fertility

It is the ovum, which I hide

inside the body,

comes to light through

this natural process

and in their similarity,

The artist's hidden work will also be revealed.


It is not common for images of menstruation to be shown.

as a work of art to symbolize a concept,

This issue is hidden in the reality of women and in artistic circles.


MR has tried to represent her

with the maximum Delicacy, dignity, and respect, for we all come from it.

or rather the absence of it after conception,

in which the union of two parts triggers the miracle

of the creation of a new living being.



Therefore, MR appeals to the recognition of the lineage of continuation

created from within us even while inert

because artistic or other works of human beings,

They are also its continuation and

They transmit the genes and personality of their author,

doing somehow,

that they continue to live after death.




The collector who acquired his work

represents the other half of it,

because he identifies with it and makes it his own.
