Ella

Ella (which means “she” in spanish) is a graphic character that is a recurring theme in my work. Artistically, Ella has helped me build a creative world where she bridges different artistic techniques and projects. In the exhibition Ella Folie, I explored through this character the theme of the obsessive behaviours that we may all have, how our society and belief systems encourage these behaviours, and how in certain cases we live with them without realizing it.

Ella Folie, a women living in her apartment surrounded by "Ellas", she doesn't realized her obsession for this drawing, an obsession that keeps her isolated from the outside world that is craziest than herself.

Ella Folie wants to project any obsession or addiction that we all may have, an object, a person, a substance, an emotion, in this case a drawing. Ella becomes a face, like a mirror that represents our own madness.
