Parting from a feminist perspective, Marta Calero Segura's work focuses on the meanings, symbols, and signs ascribed to female bodies, and how they actively work against women's attempts to represent themselves. She reclaims her body as a site of creation and is developing her own visual vocabulary that concretely represents what it means to live in a gendered body. Through a multimedia practice, she aims to detangle the connotations her gender carries and the historical contradiction between artist and art developed by traditional iconography, producing meaning of her own against a language that affirms male dominance and power and reproduces their supremacy.
