Ángeles Agrela

Ángeles Agrela's work is a contemporary response to the ever-changing role of women in art history. In order to bring out the cultural and historical significance of the representation of women globally and historically, Agrela uses hair as the main motif. The faces of the female models are detailed and hyper-realistic, but at the same time, the shape and placement of the hair motif is distorted, creating a surreal atmosphere. By deliberately concealing or highlighting parts of the models' hair, as well as the colors, patterns, and fashion styles that characterize women's identity in convention, Agrela creates a beautiful and ironic reflection.
