Always a joy to work with a model for the first time. Puka likes to do dynanic poses and loves the theme of mirrors as inspiration. Fernanda Corral, a.k.a Puka: scenic artist dedicated to the research of movement and body expression, live model since 2023. From my love for dance and improvisation comes the interest to experience the art of the live model. Poetic space par excellence, able to merge the visual language with a state of absolute presence, almost meditative. At the service of a sensitive and subjective gaze that, like a mirror, returns a form that is both its own and that of others. That highlights and completes. That invites us to transcend the limits of the physical body to allow us to visualize the states of the soul.”
The inspirational theme : Mirrors in art
Mirrors, like their reflections, can be ambiguous and even contradictory in their meaning. Do they show truth or illusion? Beauty or vanity? Self-reflection or shallowness? The answer is as mutable as the object itself: mirrors have been used to reflect all of those meanings andmore in art.
