María Conejo
"Cabeza (estudio para Pensamiento intrusivo)", anatomical, sketch, emotion

2024

About the Item

María Conejo’s proposal consists of a series of oil paintings and ink drawings that offer a profound and intimate exploration of the emotions within us. The artworks depict an anatomical landscape, where each organ symbolizes a dwelling for small goddesses engaging in play, dance, and meditation. Through each brushstroke, the artist captures a connection to oneself, a rediscovery of the body, its sensations, pleasures, and pains. By immersing ourselves in María’s journey, we descend into the inner landscapes of our emotions. Furthermore, the erotic anatomy presents pulsating organs transformed into sanctuaries of love, sexuality, and desire. Drawing inspiration from ancient medical texts, alchemical treatises, astrological imagery, and spiritual symbols, María Conejo invites us to rediscover the sacredness of the physical body. In the past, the body was not just seen as a perfect machine of nature. Rediscovering the body means feeling it, listening to it, making it our own, transforming it, and reinventing it. Two colossal guardians represent the connection between the body and nature, holding wisdom passed down through the ages by healers, magicians, sorceresses, and herbalists. These women took care of the secrets of medicinal plants, the ability to recognize health or illness through bodily expressions, knowledge of the nutritional powers of food, and the magic of words, especially words of love. Evoking the skills of magician artists, María Conejo uses lines, colors, and lights to transmute emotions. From darkness comes light, chaos gives birth to the cosmos, and formlessness gives rise to art.
