Madrid (EFE).- María Bueno (Zaragoza, 1995), better known by the artistic name Pezones Revueltos, has managed to make her colorful and identifiable illustrations with pink and cheerful strokes adorn campaigns from international firms such as Gucci to renowned fashion headlines. , like Vogue.
“I studied graphic design, a career focused on advertising work. I realized that he had his own style because he did not know how to do the work well, he did it unconsciously, but they all had too personal a touch, ”he told EFE in an interview.
Feminism, society and fashion make up an imagery that this artist embodies in her creations, many of which are now condensed in her first monographic exhibition, “Boga”, which after finishing her stay in Zaragoza will tour Ibiza this summer and will be presented at the end of of the year in Madrid.
“When I studied styling, a teacher told us that a theme was in vogue, and we laughed at her thinking that she was referring to Vogue magazine. She taught us a lesson and we felt terrible, because being in vogue is being in fashion, and this made me think that this is what my imaginary magazine would be called”, she says about the title of the exhibition.
In his exhibition, he transfers different sections of the fashion magazine that he has always dreamed of founding to the canvases that make up the show. “It’s a cartoon version of the magazine,” she says of pictures that portray themes of fashion, beauty, or psychology.
He defines his style as “colorful and fun”, and proof of this is also his original pseudonym. “There is a Mexican artist much older than me who signs as María Bueno, and it is very important to distinguish herself. ‘Pezones Revueltos’ encompassed my work, from the funny part that calls attention to the vindictive part, ”she explains.
Although his journey with this nickname began almost a decade ago, it was the pandemic that consolidated his position. “The determining point was to achieve stability as a freelancer, something that is very difficult in the art world,” says Bueno, who remembers a commission from the Net-a-Porter platform as a turning point.
For Bueno, the potential that sets her apart as an artist has always been there, and although it evolves and time passes, it maintains its essence. “I recently found notepads from when I was little, from that stage in which they make you draw a lot, and I see that my drawing personality was already there”.
The artist, who for the moment is expanding this collection to show it in the following points where she turns, has clear goals: to be able to continue living from her passion, art, and to be able to cross borders with it. “I would like to be able to elevate what I do in a big way, take my work to exhibitions in landmark places like New York.”
