Manifesto on Figure Painting, by Rocío Rodríguez

Fuck the stretcher.

The viewer is not alone.

Fuck the stretcher.

The figure wants to move.

The figure doesn’t pose for you.

The figure looks back at you.

The figure keeps changing.

The figure evolves.

The figure adapts to the context.

The figure is female.

The painting is a sculpture.

The space is involved intimately with the figure.

The canvas is alive.

The canvas is me.

The figure is me.

The self-portrait is a political statement.

The self-portrait is everything.

The Self, The Artwork.

The artwork is me, I AM the artwork


I am the figure,

When I die, the artwork dies.
