I depict women stripped from witnesses, judges and competitors. The portraits are generic,
women disrobed from the intimacy of their identity, exaggerating their vulnerability.
The dark depth of women has always immensely attracted me. Such sadness could
equally be scripted in women by nature, by her expected role or maybe as the result of
the unfair and violent behavior practiced against her from the beginning of our
civilizations.
The collection I am presenting in 2011 at Ariodante Gallery is a manifiesto at 50. I reflect on
the relatively recent flimsy freedom acquired by women and the arrogance of the debate
regarding our bodies; our disadvantaged economical position that stresses our future and
decision making processes and the still brittle and crude quality of the womanhood
concept.

| “This artist is a witness of her time. Matilde Alberny gives us a chance to express our emotion on the basis of her work. As we can see this is an extreme judgment of our society, a history of mankind, as we know it. These are not decorative paintings; these are narrative art pieces that are telling us a story that we as women are trying to repress.” Alexandra Monett |
