'When you see a girl on the cover of a fashion magazine and you’re attracted to her, you say: 'she’s pretty', which is what it’s intended for you to buy. But if you analyze it later, you realize that it is a girl who must surely be 16 years old and has some kind of problem with her weight..." says the painter Juan Palomares. In the series he presents in Parking Gallery, "I explain her" he adds.
That work turned out to be the beginning of the series that now shows, "a prototype of what I have been working on." Palomares acknowledges that everything has gone very fast. "Deformation is the basis of my work", explains the artist, "so I like to express concepts since five years". In this case from the woman's anatomy, "with the pink, the grotesque smile, and the forced postures, I wanted to show up the pictures of pornography consumption on the Internet".

With this series of paintings, the artist creates a grotesque image of the representation of women, bringing to an end of the canons of beauty and the forced postures sold as normal and desirable for men, and a goal for women.
Through his creations he has reinterpreted the canons of classical beauty, deformed them to be used as social criticism, to question the value of aesthetics, the tyranny of beauty, the false and the artificial that hides behind the envelope to reshape them. Works of Art that you have to face without fear or prejudice and try to keep your eyes on them. The challenge is not easy, the artist does not make any concessions, therefore the result is shocking, of an impeccable performance and an overwhelming magnetism.
