Figures of women on a background of the Creation in red and white, with a shape of a piggy bank in red.
The piece is part of a series "Ángeles o demonios" [Angels or demons] that mix pictures of catholic sacred images with modern and profane elements. All silhouettes are common ways to portraying women in painting and photography, together with the piggy bank can open a conversation about money, women and women bodies.
In his art work, Baruch Vergara tends to make references, recontextualized and resignify historical topics and known paintings.
