Erika Trejo, Mexican artist between the complaint and statement

Abstract

In this article, part of the history of the Mexican artist Erika Trejo as an example of an artist, woman, immigrant and mother. It looks at eight of his works and some feminist theories that have influenced their creations. Through interview conducted with her I could understand clearly links his work with his own biography. While not speaking of an autobiographical work, the fact of living in a woman’s body has addressed the meaning of his speech. She takes as its starting point the experience of women which is related to the integration process after migration made her own motherhood. Body movement is its creative energy, a body that is the one of the two cultural power bipolarities governed by the Western man.
