Natalia Reparaz was born in Madrid,Spain. |
| About the Artist | |
N.R. became part of the so-called “movida madrileña” thanks to an underground comic tetralogy she drew about some homosexual friends. By then she started drawing with hyperrealist painter Gabriel Pedrero, and later on at the Artaquio bottega. |

Erotic cabinet, installation
2008 |
)
|
| Since antiquity, noblemen and other rich people enjoyed collecting exquisite paintings. Some of them had a smaller room in their private apartments were they hid their most spicy pieces, mostly depictions of naked goddesses from Greek mythology.
From this I got the idea of building my own little room and hanging there my own private collection. I painted my favourite themes and made an erotic series.
The series is composed of 10 small paintings, carefully conceived and exquisitely framed, intended to be shown inside an installation that looks like a bunker art booth.
The cabinet has very narrow windows from which the viewer can peep into the paintings. These are small with the purpose of forcing the viewer to approach them, in contrast to moving back from a large painting. This fosters curiosity and a sense of intimacy.
In this very personal show I am depicting eternal themes in life like beauty, womanhood, motherhood, male-female love, matrimony, abandonment, gay love, breast cancer, and other less eternal like bestiality, and sexual tourism. My treatment of each one is humorous as, since childhood, I’ve been puzzled by the peculiar way people have of making their lives complicated in the name of their perception of love.
In Erotic cabinet I want to represent my personal erotic iconography; all the paintings differ from each other as if I were a collector trying to put together a varied collection of my favourite pieces.
