Luisa Callegari

I am a South American women artist and mother. I believe that one of the most important art roles is to make people think and reflect about unpleasant subjects and situations that would otherwise be forgotten or passed by. In my artwork I attempt to address those delicate subjects bringing up themes such as clichés and motherhood, contradictions of the feminine universe, constructions of gender and sexuality. I make my artwork with a variety of media that goes all the way from traditional painting and photography to perishable elements and installations. Currently I am privileging the use of pink as the beginning and end of my creative process, subverting the notions of beauty and grotesque.
