The artist about her work:
ANDREA VALENCIA
Through a series of icons and popular heroes, symbolic and historic correlations come to light, elaborated as an interpretation of the past itself.ValenciaĀ“s process begins with the choosing of events and its proposal as common experiences shared and academically elaborated by the legitimizing voices of the hegemonic systems. After this process, she alters images and codes, aware of their semiotic charge, to generate comments of irony and criticism. Valencia says: āThe current historical time is a period vibrant with information, and at the same time, fecund in disinformation, iĀ“m aware of the social responsibility of those authorized to transmit media information
