Women are my subject. Only portrayed when they strip themselves from witnesses, judges, and competitors. Usually gloomy, worried and intimate in company of other women with whom they have build bonds.

My women are not struggling to empower themselves. They know the meaning of hindrances, isolation and ambivalence.

The dark depth of women has always immensely attracted me.

Such sadness could equally be scripted in her, by nature, by her expected role or as the result of the unfair and violent behavior practiced against her from the beginning of our civilizations.

“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
