Domestic Violence
Paula Rego

My work is about human suffering and what provokes it. On the one hand there are the unforeseeable and unavoidable factors that we sadly have to live with (disease or death, intrinsic nature to the human condition); on the other hand there are countless situations that depend only on our decisions and actions. It is the latter that interests me most.

Ignorance and injustice, the main reasons behind the irreversible repercussions inflicted upon individuals, transforming them forever into something less than they could have been.

I mainly work with painting, drawing, video, photography and sometimes, installations and performances.
