Cortina López, artist from Mexico City

Before and after.When your own sister is killed, she too becomes just a number.No, never, it is important that we have memories, that we are aware of the loss, and that we hope that some Justice exists, that men who kill women are punished.Through art, opening space to talk about it, through the creation of masks, sculptures, paintings, occupying the streets, clear messages that violence and murder against women should receive the greatest punishment!

Cortina López  is originally from Mexico City and currently residing in Vienna. Cortina is in a constant process of exploration, seeking inspiration from diverse struggles and voices. This journey not only enriches her artistic expression, but also facilitates connections with diverse communities, allowing her to share her unique perspective. Her multidisciplinary approach gives her the ability to integrate different styles and techniques, bridging diverse narratives and experiences.

As a self-taught artist, she has forged her own path in the field of art, learning and experimenting through her personal practice and the significant influence of her mother, who has been a fundamental figure in her artistic development.

Cortina stands out for her ability to combine different disciplines, which allows her to create works that are both visually striking and conceptually profound. Her main focus is on femicide, approaching it from both a personal and social perspective. Through her art, she seeks to make gender violence visible and advocate for justice.

Her work incites reflection on the human experience in contexts of displacement and loss, touching on themes of memory and vulnerability. These concepts become tools Cortina uses to connect with the viewer, inviting them to consider their own history and that of those around them. Her interdisciplinary approach ensures that each work is a unique experience, fusing diverse techniques and styles that enrich her artistic narrative.
