Title: "Travesti, Hairy Diva"
Artist: Unknown
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 24.4 x 20.5 in
Period: 21st century
Framing: Unframed
Work Description
"Travesti, Hairy Diva" is a figurative painting with a strong satirical and expressive character that challenges traditional portrait norms and gender identity. The artwork depicts a robust and androgynous figure dressed in a floral yellow lace nightgown, adorned with feminine accessories, and wearing deliberately exaggerated makeup. Seated in a red armchair, the character confidently holds a handheld mirror, blending narcissism, irony, and self-assurance in a single gesture.
The anatomical treatment is exaggerated, with disproportionate volumes and brushstrokes emphasizing the skin texture, notably showcasing body hair on the arms, chest, and legs. This combination of traditionally masculine traits with feminized clothing and attitude gives the scene a provocative and burlesque quality.
The piece aligns with the Latin American magic realism tradition, with clear influences from Fernando Botero, particularly in the monumental forms and visual humor. It also echoes the irreverent aesthetic of Pierre et Gilles, exploring queer identity and theatricality in imagery. Additionally, it shares stylistic elements with the satirical expressionism of Gustavo Novoa and the dramatic painting techniques of Rafael Coronel, focusing on gestures and psychological depth.
The use of vibrant colors creates striking contrasts between the yellow of the dress, the red of the armchair, and the darker tones in the background. The interior setting, complete with a lace curtain and furniture, enhances the sense of intimacy and theatricality, turning the scene into a performative act of gender fluidity, almost as if the character is playing a role on the stage of everyday life.
"Travesti, Hairy Diva" is an irreverent piece—a celebration of transgressive identity and the breaking of traditional aesthetic standards. This artwork not only provokes but also invites reflection on gender roles, vanity, and self-image, with an approach that is as humorous as it is thought-provoking.
