Woman's Freedom 1930 - 2030

 

In this series, created after a trip to New York in the winter of 2022, Hizelaya illustrates the theme of women's freedom, "which radiates to women all over the world," through various techniques discovered through monotype printing on plexiglass.

 

Women's freedom in relation to men, in relation to a woman's life choices—mother, free woman, or both—and the freedom to choose to be a man or a woman. Hizelaya paints with ink or oil on a sheet of plexiglass, aluminum, or copper. The paint is then pressed onto paper, fabric, or other materials. The artist then works with these effects, adding other materials for a truly mysterious result.

 

The creation of one image leads to another, and so on. The artist expresses this by saying, "It's a psychophysical commitment, not just a matter of thought." Hizelaya explores the role of women in the 21st century, and the place of the female artist in the 21st century.
