Fernanda Lavera
Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires
María Fernanda Lavera is a cotemporary artist, from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
MessageIn this piece, we see a girl walking her pet, a mini pig, through the city streets.
Since the 1960s, it became fashionable to raise, adopt, or buy these tiny pigs as pets.
But as we know, most are victims of genetic manipulation—born with malformations, many dying instantly.
Only a few survive, and even then, their lives are brief.
On the canvas, cold blues clash with the pig’s vivid red.
A quiet yet biting critique of consumer society.
