González Martín's exhibition, Table Manners, explores modern narratives of women’s liberation by intertwining religious iconography with contemporary storytelling, highlighting food's fraught intimacy.
The works celebrate the strength of female sainthood, revealing the beauty and brutality in symbolic representations while addressing themes of sacrifice, community, and women's autonomy throughout history.
In Table Manners, each painting serves as a homage to iconic religious art, reflecting González Martín's connection to her predecessors while presenting figures grounded in the present.
Her oil and egg tempera pieces juxtapose classic styles with modern themes, capturing women’s struggles for liberation and bodily autonomy through evocative imagery and historical references.
