San Junipero mood

Azucena González, an interdisciplinary artist born in Valencia in 1981. Her work encompasses painting, drawing, sculpture, and performance. Her artwork explores various themes, such as the perception of landscapes through walking, the everyday, and complex human relationships.

"Life is pure disorder, instability, chaos. If we perceive it as ordered, stable, and safe, it is because, after all, we strive to make it so. The tools we have been crafting since the dawn of time have served this purpose: to dominate segments of reality in such a way that the untamed nature becomes docile. There lies the kind side of existence. Amidst the uncertainty of life, Azucena González reproduces micro-stories: of everyday situations, of longed-for moments, of untold secrets, and of objects or landscapes where a personification of the unexpressed occurs. From failed acts and their mistakes, which seek that hedonism subscribed to the act of living life and loving life. And she does this from a perspective as a woman, situated in the world, and in her world, and from a Mediterranean culture."
