Carmen González Castro’s work focuses on the human body. Reviewing themes from mythology, Carmen questions the current canons of beauty and the perception that we have now compared to other times. Her realistic painting is of a New Figurative type. Her portraits are not hyper-realistic, she makes frequent use of warping.
