DESCRIPTION
The painting “A Woman and a Typewriter” is one of a series entitled “Dentelle”, a visual insight into the depth of the female side and a woman’s desire to communicate and write to express her feelings. Sometimes a woman finds in the materiel the companionship she needs, such as dolls, tools, books, dresses, etc., which may turn into friendly souls capable of talking and listening. The typewriter is one of these tools, which is an intermediary for the free and unconditional expression of what is going on inside the female by which all her thoughts and dreams are documented to the world. All these materials are transformed into feminine forms of slavery and transparency, such as the texture of a female lace or “Dentelle”
