"Nieves González recomposes the story of Mary Magdalene through the symbols that always surrounded her: hair, chalice, cave, blood. She thus recovers the disciple, the messenger, the spiritual force that history preferred to silence.Sacred Hair / Capelli Sacri is conceived as an altarpiece where the classical and the contemporary dialogue to reveal the hidden. Structured from pictorial tradition, González remakes established canons from her perspective as a contemporary woman:"
"The exhibition invites us to rewrite the narrative from creation itself, a gesture born from respect toward that generative power that was denied and distorted for centuries. A new code in which, finally, the word belongs to us. Of all the forms that exist for naming, none proves as elusive as the one that attempts to capture everything that was not said."
Nieves González recomposes Mary Magdalene’s story through recurring symbols: hair, chalice, cave, and blood. The presentation functions as an altarpiece where classical and contemporary visual languages converse to reveal suppressed meanings. The work remakes pictorial canons from a contemporary woman's perspective, transforming sacred mystery into forms both recognizable and radically new. The project insists on reclaiming a generative feminine power denied and distorted over centuries, proposing a rewritten creation narrative in which women speak. Feminine dramaturgy is presented as an architecture of intuition, knowledge that appears without instruction. The work refuses deferred historical truth and urgently exposes what remains unspoken.
