October and women, art close to them.
Art is a way of expressing many things in this world, not only personal, social and historical issues, but also much more specific matters, and often that art is in harmony with solidarity towards people who suffer. In this case, art, women and the suffering that many endure come together as one.
Last month, I had the pleasure of visiting the El Ateneo gallery, which always has several art exhibitions open to the public and absolutely free of charge. But this month in particular, one of them was dedicated to women suffering from breast cancer, something that torments them and in many cases makes them feel very different as women.
Of course, I cannot help but wonder why this is so. Many say it is hereditary, and in some cases that may be true, but I also think about everything I have learned and about today's society. The breast is related to children, and I think about how many concerns women who are mothers have today. I am not a mother and I do not know what goes through their minds.
I am only the mother of two cats whom I adore, but I am far from feeling what a mother feels for her children and all the worries and suffering that can surround it. To a lesser extent, it is also related to the lack of protection from the partner, from the man. There are some cases like that, an absent husband who does not take his wife into account or even mistreats her. I think about those emotional causes of such a horrible disease.
And when I arrived at the gallery and saw an exhibition dedicated to women who go through this torment, I liked to see the amount of demonstrations in support of them and not only that but also collaboration, love for women who suffer. Women are the givers of life on earth. As a woman myself, I was very moved to see each work of art.
The number 19 was very prominent, as there were 19 artists exhibiting works that were totally different from each other, but all significant. Art was used, in this case, as a mediator, with empathy, thus approaching the problem that many women suffer.
Nineteen artists collaborated with different languages in their art and with the sensitivity to address this very delicate issue in our society, calling for reflection in all cases, giving food for thought in each work on display and with great expression.
Solidarity in its broadest sense was evident, with art being used in this case to raise awareness of this issue.
Many people attended this exhibition, and I think bringing it to this space is a good way to spread the word. October is the month chosen to address breast cancer, but this and all cancers have no date, month or day; every day it is necessary to raise awareness and analyse what is happening.

If you look closely at each work of art, which included everything from paintings to photography to sculpture, you will see the intensity of what is being conveyed. They have a strong impact, and I am sure that the women reading this today and looking at the works of art will agree with me. Some of the exhibits even bring tears to my eyes, as is happening to me right now.
I feel that all the works convey a very intense message of strength and encouragement to women going through this process, and there is one work that clearly expresses this message with the words: Keep shining.

A woman is a woman because her soul is, but often the loss of a part of ourselves makes us feel less, even though it shouldn't be that way. The social gaze is very powerful, the gaze of family, children, husband, friends. That is why I believe it is important to raise awareness about the support and comfort needed by women who have to go through this horrible disease that touches a woman's soul and affects her.
Of course, each work has its own strength and intensity; some strike the eye and the heart strongly, while others do so in a very subtle way. I would love to hear in the comments which one you liked best or which one impacted you and why.
Thank you for joining me today with this emotional art exhibition. I wish you all a wonderful Sunday. See you soon.

Good morning @avdesing. I have to say, the exhibition is quite moving... I don't think the theme will leave anyone indifferent. Furthermore, the works are of very high quality. The selection of pieces, all created by women, also demonstrates the significant role of women in contemporary art. If I had to choose a favorite from the exhibition, I would pick those by Pepa Cano, Blanca de Vilar or Stella Kamazon.
Happy Sunday.
We agree on two, although I like many of them. The works by Blanca de Vilar and Stella Kamazon are excellent!
It was moving to be there, but also to see how art is involved in everything. Thank you very much for choosing your favourites! Have a wonderful day!🤗
Although all the works presented are fantastic, it's normal that some will appeal to you more than others. I'm glad we liked two of them (it seems I don't have such bad taste after all).
Thank you for sharing this exhibition.
Happy Sunday! 🤗🤗
Hahaha, no, you don't have bad taste, hahaha.
Have a great day!🤗
Thanks... 😀 This afternoon I'll be preparing the Mipiano publication...

Thank you so much @visualshots and @jlinaresp 💗💗💗
Wow! La primera escultura me impactó y me conmovió bastante 🥹 Hace poco tuvimos un pequeño susto en la familia, pero gracias a la misericordia de Dios no se descubrió nada maligno 🙏 Es tan importante realizarse los exámenes respectivos para descartar o tratar a tiempo esta terrible enfermedad.
Es muy bueno tomar conciencia de que puede pasar emocionalmente para sanar el cuerpo, ya que toda enfermedad responde a las emociones. Estas obras de arte han sido maravillosas para todas las mujeres. Muchas gracias!

It's a great idea to approach the problem through art. The wife of a close friend of mine passed away from breast cancer... I had several performances with her (she was a singer, a soloist, and in concerts with the choir), precisely in charity concerts with the funds destined for organisations helping cancer patients. It is important to highlight the seriousness of the situation, to continue searching for a cure and to understand what the patients go through. Art can help us to think about it more deeply, and if there are señales internas in us, ring the bell.
I am very sorry about what happened to you. It must not have been easy; it must have been a very complicated process. I am sorry.
That is why I believed it was so important to spread awareness of this art form and for more people to become aware of what so many women go through, so that they feel supported. Thank you very much!🤗
It was very difficult for my friend to lose his wife 😔 and for their little daughter. Life continues, but her memory is in their life, day by day!
I lost students to it, it's very complicated. And my mother's best friend has been battling it for over 15 years... it's tough.
Ever since I read your post and looked at the photos, I felt a tightness in my chest and tears came to my eyes. Years ago, a close friend of mine died from this… she fought hard, was brave, but in the end cancer took her far too young. I find it deeply compelling, what you point out about the emotional implications behind each illness—especially this one. It’s something that has always drawn my attention.
I believe every piece carries great strength and intensity, as you rightly note, and they are essential in offering support through art, through poetry, through the simple yet profound gesture of one hand resting on another and a gaze that embraces. I hold on to the first light that emanates from each work. The one that makes us all shine and understand…
All the women I have known who had this illness had serious problems with their children, and very few with their husbands, but it was a common factor in all of them and coincided with what I had studied. It is important for women to assert themselves, know their worth, and be able to channel problems so that they do not affect their bodies. It is not easy.
Thank you for your comment, it is beautiful!
Un abrazo Avecilla.
Otro abrazo de vuelta!
Hello dear friend @avdesing, good afternoon!
How wonderful that you were able to attend this great charity event for Women's Awareness Month and Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
It's moving to see the works of so many artists who joined this special event.
I'm sure you felt all those emotions seeing the beautiful pieces, as each one expresses such powerful things.
Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful photos.
Have a happy and prosperous week!
It was very moving. I thought about all of them and the difficult process they are going through. I had students who went through it, some of whom are no longer with us. But I will always remember them. Thank you!
