ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Archival Pigment Print Also available in: 20 x 20 Limited Edition of 25 + 2AP $900 30 x 30 Limited Edition of 10 + 2AP $1,400 40 x 40 Limited Edition of 10 + 2AP $1,800 55 x 55 Limited Edition of 3 + 2AP $6,500 Year of the Pig is a photographic series all shot in the year 2019 during the Chinese year of the Golden Pig- a symbolic time of celebration, fortune, and vibrant colors. The juxtaposition of these characteristics with the political and social climate in the United States created a complex environment and dissonance, particularly for women. In Year of the Pig, the cheeky confidence and playful attitude of the women against colorful backdrops communicates unashamedly knowledge in the power of our own sexuality. Simultaneously, using humor to deflect the absurdity of provincial judgments from the sex-shaming attitude of American culture. Shot on Film with a Hasselblad camera.

Multi-media artist, Javiera Estrada, was born in Acapulco, Mexico, in 1981 and emigrated to the United States in 1989. Javiera’s broad scope of work, which includes photography, mixed media, photograms, film, and textiles, is influenced by her memories of growing up in Acapulco—a tropical paradise of vibrant colors, steeped in spiritual ritual and magical realism. Estrada’s mystical affinity for bridging the gap between the conscious landscape of reality and the subconscious world of the spiritual can be seen throughout her work. Philosophically, Estrada rejects Cartesian dualism and its compartmentalization of the whole, embracing a worldview of interconnectivity and unity consciousness. Artistically, she seeks to unify the mundane and the sacred. Javiera examines the theme of interconnected consciousness in a multitude of ways. From incorporating female bodies as sculptural forms in organic communion with nature, to creating galactic primordial environments with inks—fluid and formless, structures representing the “prima materia,” original essence of existence. The juxtaposition of shadow and light play a recurring role in Estrada’s explorations as well, representing the internal struggle between the spiritual and the physical. Estrada describes her artistic process as both frenzied and laborious. The work is multi-layered and time-consuming, a technique she sees as inducing presence, while moving away from the high-speed nature of the digital age. The initial messy, chaotic stage of unknowing is essential to Estrada’s process, as it allows for connection with the deeper, subconscious elements wanting to emerge through the work. Estrada has exhibited in the United States, Europe (London, Germany, China, Switzerland) and Singapore. In 2020, her solo show in Las Vegas received a Certificate of Special Congressional Commendation for the Arts from the United States Congress. Recently, she was commissioned to create a site-specific piece for the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland. Estrada currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
