About this artwork
With this series, I explore a dialogue between Cubism and my baroque visual language, combining fragmented structures with theatrical symbolism. My recurring elements — oversized wigs and headless female figures — remain central, but here the subject shifts from a person to a concept: a deadly sin.
Each sin is treated as a character, though not entirely human. Its essence is concentrated in the wig, where the sin takes visual form.
In Pereza (Sloth),… the head becomes a cloud — soft, drifting, and detached. Blankets, stars, and smaller clouds hang from it, evoking comfort, passivity, and the quiet seduction of stillness.
As in my work, the gesture of holding a head remains, reflecting a tension between identity and detachment.
Through this series, I translate abstract human conditions into theatrical, introspective visual narratives.

Painting Queen (Karina Graciela Salazar) is a painter and sculptor with a background grounded in independent studio research, blending Baroque and Rococo influences with contemporary, symbolic narratives. She employs opulent oil and acrylic techniques, using theatrically staged compositions, exaggerated ornamentation, and meticulous layering that fuse classical grandeur with surreal, pop-inflected aesthetics. Her works vibrantly explore identity, power, and illusion, inviting the viewer into emotionally charged worlds of both spectacle and intimacy—works designed to captivate, provoke reflection, and ignite curiosity about modern and historical performance of self.
