Marina Núñez

Marina Núñez is a painter who has extended her usual original creative area to other artistic fields, such as video, installations, photography and the world of objects, though with a clear pictorial influence. She is producing with her works a new iconography of women in accordance with technical advances applied to biology, but always from her feminist position. She believes that the possibilities of body transformation due to advanced science and technology are major advances for women and for the whole humanity, beginning a new developing phase in its existence, with all the potential it implies. These transformations are currently allowing —and much more in the near future— the application and implant of mother cells in sick organs for their cure or body renovation and rejuvenation, operations in human genetic chain involving the possibility of suppressing genetic inheritance diseases, human cloning, highly complicated cosmetic surgery and those revolutionary operations in which substitute artificial prosthesis of the human diseased organs are transplanted, which implies the generalized start of the cyborg age, praised and held, among others, by feminists theorists and by herself, These aforementioned body transformations allow even more if possible the break-up of the binary and fixed generic identities, creating another sort of different, multiple and even transitional human identities.
