Marta Maria Perez Bravo (Born 1959) "No matar ni ver matar Animales"

Marta Maria Perez Bravo (Born 1959 Silkscreen on paper, pencil signed and numbered, framed and stamped with Rene Portocarrero seal. This piece is cataloged. Private Miami collection purchased form the Rene Portocarrero Gallery. The Mexican-based photographer Marta María Pérez was born in Havana in 1959. She graduated with a degree in painting from the Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes San Alejandro in Marianao, outside Havana, in 1979 and from the Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana in 1984. Since the mid-1980s Pérez has made black-and-white photographs that typically show a part of her body (rarely her face) in what Ana Belén Martín-Sevillano has described as a "static performance."# A trademark of Pérez's staged photographs is the centrality of an image that is both surrounded by a diffused focus and contrasted against an iridescent white background. Combining parts of her body, often arranged in unconventional ways, with objects such as oars or candles, Pérez references aspects of the Afro-Cuban religions of Santería and Palo Monte. Uninitiated in these religions, she has nonetheless turned to Afro-Cuban mythology to express female spirituality. Titles function in her photographs as inscriptions recalling omens based on Santería or Palo Monte beliefs but also directed to the experience of being a woman. For instance, in the series Para concebir (To conceive, 1985–86) and in Macuto (1992), she brings to the fore her own experience as a mother. Macuto articulates motherhood as devotion and the artist's drive to protect her twins, who are represented in the charm Pérez holds in front of her heart. Nevertheless, some of the works in this series are transgressive of the taboos related to maternity and the feminine in these syncretic belief systems.
