About the Item

The title of this painting translates from Catalan as "the weight of history". Together with the subject depicted, the title underlines the message of Pep Anton Xaus's paintings. He himself claims: “I paint against the anger of those who seek to censor the absence of makeup, of those who still become scandalised by nudity, especially if the bodies are ordinary, natural, and distant from the canons of a supposed aesthetic perfection. In an attempt to portray women free from guilt and sin, without shame or complexes, confident, natural, autonomous… empowered. Women who are intimidating because they decide their own way of being, escaping moral conventions and traditional roles, also aiming to capture a moment, as if it were a frame from a sequence, to freeze an unrepeatable gesture.”
