About this artwork
Just as in slumbers, dreams overlaps reality.
The artist created this artwork after reading about Eva Perón’s afterlife, the First Lady of Argentina (1946-1952). As we all know, when she died, the Spanish pathologist, Dr. Pedro Ara, embalmed her body with magnificent success. Since then, she resembles just like the character of the children’s story, “Sleeping Beauty”, immersed in a deep, peaceful dream in a forever youthful body.
Her embalmed… corpse has a lengthy story. In one of its to and fro transcontinental trips from America to Europe and the way around, her coffin fell down and her nose broke. This detail inspired me to create the artwork of an unknown female with a broken nose.
The artist is sharing two images of the art procedures of this work hoping her visitors find them interesting.

« My interest as a visual artist is to grasp the desperate beauty within abnormality, as well as to picture its effects in human life, in human experience. »
Veronica Huacuja is a Mexican artist whose paintings have been exhibited nationally, as well as in the United Kingdom. She describes her blend of figurative and abstract artworks as being "obscure", depicting the human condition. Huacuja explores humanity and its precarious conditions through temporality, decadence, illness, and pain. She employs medical studies performed on anonymous, sick, or genderless people as inspiration, and refers to the results of her compositions as, “Human Landscapes”.
