AT THE STEPS OF WOMANHOOD 2. Digital Art

THE PAST IS ALWAYS NEAR. Digital Art

starve themselves to try to meet the unreasonable image projected by a fashion industry that does the complete opposite for our male counterparts. Questions, then, need to be asked: When will it ever end? Will women ever be treated as equals in the workplace? Will the art world finally deem our work as valuable as that created by men? Will women's brains ever be deemed as precious as their bodies? Women are soft, and curvy, and emotional; but at the same bear the strength of 100,000 warriors inside them. As that 70's Enjoli perfume commercial so eloquently stated: "We can bring home the bacon, cook it up in a pan, and still have plenty of time for romance". We have proven that and more; now it is time for society to truly start treating us as such.

EVERYDAY GODDESSES. Digital Art

Ileana Collazo, Visual Artist This is a long-overdue project the artist has been sub-consciously creating since her childhood, and one she plans to continue working on for the rest of her life. Her hope is to create a collective of like-minded men and women creatives to collaborate on a global project that will yield funds through art sales/sponsorships which will be partially donated to improve women's lives around the globe; as well as provide welldeserved revenue for artists that dedicate their lives to creating thought-provoking, life-impacting works that benefit society at large. If you want to become part of this initiative (as an artist or a sponsor), or are interested in this body of work contact: Ileana Collazo, Collazo Art Studio fivemuses@gmail.com
