Verónica Trujillo (Bogotá, 1970) is a ceramic artist whose practice dwells in a radical exploration of the body, symbol, and matter, sculpting from a deep personal lineage and untamed intuition. Far from implicit canons, her work articulates the feminine as a territory of strength, ambiguity, and transformation; her creations are acts of resistance to the norm, characterizations of the hybrid, the mythical, and the untamed, embodying a sensibility freed from the normativism of gender, form, or beauty.
Her works stem from the dialogue between clay, body, and silence. Clay, as a living material, holds ancestral memories that Trujillo transforms into the bodies of hybrid figures, challenging traditional ideas of humanity. Her goddesses, chimeras, and hybrids represent symbolic, sensual, and deeply poetic worlds that inhabit the earth through myth, ambiguity, and symbolic play.
In a context where the feminine has traditionally been filtered through the male gaze, Trujillo presents a counter-imagination. Her figures do not conform to external standards: they lack normative proportions, masculine interpretation, or control. Instead, they radiate autonomy, playful strength, a desire for form, and symbolic freedom.
