The Women that Valencia plasma in this series are virgins only in appearance. They can wear a veil, but also wear trousers and ways of being in the world are women who have not relinquished ownership of your body. Neither is submissive or is resigned to virginity. As the work of the Spanish Eduardo Arroyo, aesthetics Valencia proposal could include within the pop art, not only in the form affinities, but also because of her interest in the environment and cultural criticism, though in Colombian prevailing interest in exploring the portrayal of women in the world. There is a reason why some patriarchal religions hide the hair of women under veils. The hair also represent the pubic hair and covering women's hair her sexuality is canceled. What if the woman shows pubic hair and hides the head hair? The art project by Andrea Valencia takes a step forward by proposing a sorority in which each of them is representative of their own sexuality under robes and veils . The women is not the clothes she wears, it is the spirit that inhabits it. The work of Andrea Valencia reinforces the brutality and the graphic power of the visual codes. The paintings in this series are beautiful, but above all make us think about the role of women and the different stereotypes still perpetuated today in our societies.
