The Artistic Concept of Intimacy in the Work of Lauren Mederos
Art is one of the most sophisticated and valuable ways of exploring the entrails of human nature. Through the visual richness of artworks, artists can unmask the most secret feelings harbored by many. The artistic concept of intimacy and sensitivity has become the focal point of Lauren Mederos’ novel series of contemporary conceptual art. In her work, the Cuban artist has managed to break new ground in understanding the world of primordial instincts.

Liquid Hymen
As a continuation of the narration, “Liquid Hymen” comes across as the representation of eternal virginity, with water masterfully transformed into the glass sphere, which then becomes a metaphor for a flexible hymen.

Hematophilia
Glass containers filled with the pig’s blood make everyone think twice before deciding whether the installation appeals or terrifies. Such is the contradiction of senses artfully designed by the young visual master.
