Adriana Duque

Adriana Duque explores realities that are staged, and wander between gloom, the intimate, silence and the mysterious, which manages to suspend time and penetrate an intermediate state between sleep and wakefulness, between reality and fiction. Her photographic work is closer to the pictorial realm than to the photographic one. The union between her own inspiration influenced by Renaissance, Baroque and Flemish painting results in scenes in which the stereotype, the archetype and the icon are the main axis of a world in which realism and fantasy converge. The childlike figure in Duque's photography is invested with an intrinsic adulthood and an air of superiority that confronts the viewer's cultural and historical stereotypes to the point of intimidation.
