Parting from a feminist perspective, Marta’s work focuses on the meanings, symbols and signs ascribed to female bodies, and how they actively work against women’s attempts to represent themselves. She reclaims her body as a site of creation and is developing her own visual vocabulary that concretely represents what it means for her to live in a gendered body.
Through a multimedia practice, she aims to detangle the connotations that her gender carries and the historical contradiction between artist and art developed by traditional iconography, producing meaning of her own against a language that affirms male dominance and reproduces their supremacy.
