About this artwork
The artist base the work on an online true documentary where a doctor–a psychiatrist–performs a collective interview to three schizophrenic catatonic patients (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia). Veronica captures diverse video stills to work with. In this way, she, as an artist, deciphers and transposes a human phenomenon to the field of art.
Among other concerns, and besides the life’s drama of these persons, the artist is interested… in their waxy flexibility, which is “(…) a psychomotor symptom (that) leads to a decreased response (...) and a tendency to remain in an immobile posture”*. This artwork refers to this medical condition.

« 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”.
