About the Artwork:
“I am a draftswoman, even when I am painting I am drawing as in the case of these both artworks.
In these weird times we are living in, Who is David? Who is Goliath?
Who is the loser or Who is the winner? Who is the big or the small, the weak or the strong…
Nothing is like it seemed before.” – Ana Juan
