The 7th of
July of 1998, after the worst 5 years of my life at the Academy of Fine Arts in
Madrid Spain, my landscape teacher Carrelero failed this beautiful
painting, and made me spend the whole summer painting landscapes in
order to prepare for my upcoming exam in September.
The University School of Fine Arts was one
hell of bullies who hardly let me breathe.
It is a
form of vindictive protest against the bullying I have suffered as a woman at
the hands of the macho men grotesque art world. Men have never fully
overcome the fact that a woman may be more capable but what they really can’t
stand is that she may paint better.
