Cafelina is a multidisciplinary work that merges the language of contemporary circus with coffee painting. A piece that expresses the universe of a female character immersed in the aroma of coffee—an aroma that holds the past, present, and future, keeping stories the world has yet to recognize: the woman of coffee, the woman who sows, harvests, and produces, the invisible woman who is the coffee grinder, who grinds the bean and, in this story, decides to pour it onto a blank canvas.
In the work, Cafelina recreates the universe of a woman who, in contact with coffee, flows freely in the essence of her being, like a bird breaking out of its shell to open up and fly before reality. Cafelina combines the image of a bird-woman discovering herself through many mask-like forms with the image of a female artist who, in her intimacy, is transparent, gentle, and creative, while also being structured, straight, and rigid, like a coffee packaging system from grinding to consumption. Faced with this analogy, the woman questions herself: if I can’t drink the coffee, what do I do with it?
Cafelina is a sensitive and intimate piece that exposes the feminine imagination, longing to break free from the oppressions of the patriarchal system that confines them.
