Abril Castanyer
I am Abril Castanyer, a visual artist and Fine Arts student at the UB.
I work from the body as a space of conflict, oppression and resistance.
My practice is based on my personal and political experience, as a woman located in a context marked by symbolic violence, desire, control and the memory of trauma.
I understand femininity from a critical and intersectional perspective, which incorporates the axes that cross and condition our place in the world: gender, power, sexuality, class, emotional vulnerability.
I do not seek ambiguities, but rather confront what is uncomfortable.
I paint, write and create images to say what is difficult to say.
I do not want to embellish, but to make the wound visible and transform it into visual language.
