FlorenciaMagallanesIntroScratch2.jpg
 

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and now based in London, Florencia Magallanes integrates illustrative painting and the human consciousness in colourful, digital renditions.  Using her tablet and Photoshop, Florencia creates intimate portraits of herself, friends and perfect strangers to explore more deeply how each and every one of us perceive sexuality, eroticism and everyday human behaviours in today’s world. Her work intentionally plays on subliminal messages and the untold narrative to explore the subconscious of both her subject and the viewer. By bringing us in to the personal, vulnerable space of her subjects, Florencia challenges societal taboos and indulges in a new psychological attitude towards gender roles, sexual pleasure and emotional intimacy.

I find inspiration in many aspects of life, from human behaviours and social dynamics to the aesthetic appreciation of light and texture. I like to think of my artistic practice as a constant study of this side of our existence and an explorative approach into the subconscious or the altered consciousness.

Behind the Work

"This drawing is part of an ongoing initiative to draw more cis men, subjects who are not usually protagonist in my works. I made an open call on my personal social media account asking for male models. I´m interested in this form of collaboration from afar with non professional models (for most of them this is their first time ever posing), because they usually express rawness and tend to doubt they´re interesting enough to be drawn. There´s a sense of shyness and vulnerability that I´m looking for that they deliver just perfectly. 

This piece reflects the feeling of the constant self-evaluation and deep introspection felt by the unusual times of COVID-19 lockdown -for those privileged enough to live this global crisis in another way than in a constant state of emergency- when our sense of space has been reduced to what feels like nothing and we’re unable to cope with our own thoughts whispering in our ears. "

Florencia Magallanes, “"El espacio es mi mayor dificultad III”. 2020. Digital Drawing.

"Ajena" Print, Florencia Magallanes
from £60.00

Behind the Work

"This artwork is part of the “Bicefalia” series, which explores the dynamics of the conscious and unconscious human mind. The title of this artwork, “Ajena" means alien, and it examines how the understanding of our own emotions sometimes acts like a dialogue between two voices inside of our heads. In this particular drawing, we can see a provocative glance towards the viewer in what we could think are two different characters - one with short hair and without clothes and the other with longer hair and clothes on. It is actually the same character in two different spaces of time, asking herself, “Is this desire”? The question about desire is a main subject in my practice and I find that there is not only one resounding answer or explanation to it, but rather it is an emotional meaning subject to constant change."

Florencia Magallanes, “Ajena”. 2017. Digital Drawing.

"Nunca Sola Cuando Esta Sola" Print, Florencia Magallanes
from £60.00

Behind the Work

“This is an artwork from the “Bicefalia” series, which are portraits of thoughts. I’m attempting to visually describe the psychological bicephalic, a zoological term meaning “to have two heads”. I like delving into the juxtaposition between the physical being of a person and their subconscious thought process - whether that be an internal battle or a simple personal dialogue. There always seems to be two sides pulling in two different directions.”

Florencia Magallanes, “Nunca Sola Cuando Esta Sola”. July 2017. Digital Drawing.

"Tea Party" Print, Florencia Magallanes
from £60.00

Behind the Work

“The viewer could possibly see some sort of

erotic attraction in this scene, as there are a lot of

women’s breasts shown. However these women are

not aware of any sort of sexual situation, they’re

simply having tea. It’s a way to look deeper into

our patriarchal society that we live in, and how

women’s bodies are objectified as a sexual

source of pleasure. My questions will always be:

is it possible to make a decision about it? Are

women allowed to remove the erotic weight from

their bodies if they wanted to?”

 

Florencia Magallanes, “Tea Party”. January 2017. Digital Drawing.
