LA MADRE DE LA MADRE DE LA MADRE DE MI MADRE is a series of three paintings conceived as a tribute to the women of my lineage. It is an offering to those who came before me, whose lives, bodies, and choices quietly shaped my own existence.

The work reflects on the invisible threads that connect us across generations. Mothers carry the genetic memory of their daughters long before those daughters are born; sisters carry fragments of their elder sisters within themselves. Our bodies are archives of other bodies. Time does not erase these connections, it embeds them deeper.

These paintings are not portraits of individuals, but of continuity. They speak of inheritance beyond names and faces: gestures repeated unconsciously, emotions passed down, resilience learned without being taught. What I am did not begin with me. It is the result of countless lives layered one upon another, held together by care, sacrifice, and love.

Through this series, I reflect on femininity as a living continuum, one that transcends linear time. The women of my family are not behind me; they exist within me. We are connected forever, not only by blood, but by memory, presence, and the enduring act of becoming.
