Until death do us part

Joanna Latka had no Catholic education, and keeps her agnostic position in adult age, not ignoring, however, the presence of the Catholic Church both in the country where she was born (Poland), as well as the one in which she has decided to live and develop her artistic activity (Portugal). In this series of drawings, in particular, Joanna Latka focus her approach on the relation between Women and the Catholic Church, and on the disparity that, throughout the centuries, they have been “convicted” by the canons of the Religion. Deep down, it’s this female condition that Latka re-interprets and depicts with her line of strong expressionist nature. The bride-woman, the serpent-woman, the sinner woman, the mother-woman… If on the 7th day God created Man and Woman, it looks that, in many aspects, the Church has forgotten that the Humankind is made of two sexes, two genders, and that living on Earth would be better if it was based on the value of Equality.
