Ideal Female Body

Hilda Palafox is an artist based in Mexico City. She depicts women in her own interpretation. More specifically, she tries to illustrate the ideal female body, and she does it wonderfully. “In my work I want to show women that have gone past their limit, I want to show this place that we physically, energetically, and intellectually fill in the world.” she explains.

The female body is prominent in her work. “I believe my work itself inevitably speaks about this particular time in which women want to be recognized for the place we occupy in this world, physically, intellectually and emotionally.” Palafox describes. In fact, she uses feminine elements to portray the traits of a woman: kindness, sensitivity, curiosity.

Her first attempt to involve herself to art was through editorial illustrations. “I began doing a lot of editorial illustration then started making and selling my own work, things like prints and ceramics“.
