Mujeres con Mayúscula

During Inktober 2019, I decided to create a series of illustrations where the female figure takes center stage. The story of many MUJERES remains an unfinished chapter. This series pays tribute to those women who, despite their great contributions to the world of science, music, literature, art, and more, have been pushed into the shadows simply for being MUJERES.

Using Indian ink and markers, and taking a botanical list as a starting point, I let each figure emerge from my pencil, evolving from sketches to complete pieces that reveal the essence of each woman represented.

This is how names as significant as Clara Campoamor, Rosalía De Castro, Zaha Hadid, Janis Joplin, Coco Chanel, and Susan Sontag, among many others, came to life.

MUJERES CON MAYÚSCULA is illustration turned into light, illuminating each of my creations and reclaiming their legacy.
