Drag Muses

RuPaul, the world's most important drag queen, said: "We are all born naked, the rest is drag."

Since I saw their shows and started researching the world of Drag Queens, I felt inspired. I saw that behind the joy, colour and creativity they displayed, there was something dramatic. Their lives had been very hard, and that was also reflected in their image. I decided to research Drag Queens and came to the conclusion that there is a clear difference between transvestism and Drag art. Human beings have always wanted to be someone else. In this case, even changing gender. Transvestites were inspired by female artists, singers, folk singers and actresses as models to transform themselves. But Drags are different. They have managed to make their transformation a work of art. When I see their make-up, their dresses, their staging and their lifestyle, they inspire me a lot and the works you are going to see now are generated in my head. Painting Drag Queens is something completely contemporary. They were born as such in the 20th century, since everything else could not be considered Drag artists. This is the beginning of a path that I will follow.
