About this artwork
“Behind the scenes” is a series of intervened drawings that depict the profoundly personal space where a woman reveals her authentic self without pretensions. In the intimacy of her room she lets go of the roles she has had to play, she is exhausted by having to maintain appearances and live up to society’s expectations. While her body slowly frees itself from subjection and rigidity she becomes deeply aware of her individuality and authentic self.…
The golden stool, the pedestal that annuls her uniqueness through objectification, lies in the empty space where she has lost herself. The absence of her shadow affirms her self-repudiation for incarnating these notions of obedience and selflessness forced upon her.
In this sacred space, out of public view, we perceive that the body refuses to be molded and resists being subjected and controlled. The body comes back to its natural and spontaneous nature. She is, at last, essentially and deeply herself.

« My work is a reflection of my own femininity, which reveals itself through the use of organic forms and the contrast of color. It is both subtle and powerful, both light and dark, strong and vulnerable. »
Ima Barraza is an experienced Colombian painter and draftswoman who also works as an art director in the advertising and graphic design sector. She predominately explores the essence of femininity in her work, including investigations into societal ideas and expectations of womanhood. For Barraza, the female figure is a powerful form through which to comment on women's issues, while simultaneously celebrating aspects of the nature and form of women themselves. Her works ultimately speak to shared experiences and contain both technical and conceptual depth.
