“WOMAN – DANGER – WOMAN” is the title of the show showcasing a body of works that transmit the historic struggle of women, whom with their small actions to contest the "status quo" have achieved significant changes in favor of their rights. The disproportionate relationship between women´s actions and the notion of them becoming a “danger” for the conventional and conservative notions that rule the patriarchal system, makes for an important part of the artist´s arguments. By becoming a perceived “danger”, women also become the gargets of multiple attacks. The danger is then even greater for women, as evidenced by the constat violence that society exerts upon them at multiple levels. Paco uses portraits generated using artificial intelligence (AI), which are then printed on photographic paper and intervened with painting and embroidery.
