An expert on my field.

In the picture you see Ana Mendieta. She was an important woman in the field of art, specifically in the area of body art. She was born in 1948 and she had an tragic death in 1985, she fell down from 34th floor. It's presumed that she was murdered by her partner, the artist minimalistic Carl André. Her origins are cuban, however she lived in United States much of her life . This biographic event was important in her work, especially for her physical appearance. She worked through to performance and videoart, one of the her most important work is the Silueta series, where she took particulars pictures of herself in natural area trying to blend her body with nature like a way to approach to earth, after she continued with variations of this work. The death is an important topics used by her, because her work is ritual and existential. Also the feminism and the violence are others line of her research. The blood is an element important in some of her works.

Personally I like very much this artist. Is a reference for me, because I do performance, I like existential essence in her work I really admire her passion.
