Nacimiento [Birth] is a large format abstract painting representing a childbirth, part of a series of 13 oil paintings that reinterprets traditional subjects in the history of Western art. The work challenges the representation of the body as a producer of meanings and experiences, while subjectively demarcating the relationships between those experiences and the role of women in society. The artist usually oscillates between abstraction and figurative art. The title refers to a retina condition called abnormal fovea pigmentation, which causes distorted vision -a nod to abstraction.
