This work is based on the disappearance of children that happen diaries in my country and Latin America in general, which shows a clear lack of rights and equality, I was inspired by reports that I was seeing through cuts and interviews of nation geographic and my own reality. I am very impressed by the pictures of the children that their parents put across the city in the trees stuck Usually in black and white due to lack of resources. the deterioration of poor quality paper has at the same time reflected the lack of interest in a society that segregates the poor. Then I thought of reproducing those images of such poor quality of drawings, trying to imitate the effect of time, thus began a process of investigation and manipulation of images that uses serial photographs of faces and situations that happened in the past. Transforming photography into a reporter of events, our mind comes the sensation and an invocation of the individuals through the reproduction of the image of the photographs in a symbolic way. My main interest is the transformation of reality of simple images and the use of objects and spaces in a lateral world created by the viewer. On this occasion, the invocation of memories through the search for images and space makes me repeats the idea but not with photographs, but with drawings and materials that symbolize for me the human fragility that connects me most directly.

Biography
In his drawings and animations, William Kentridge articulates the concerns of post-Apartheid South Africa with unparalleled nuance and lyricism. In the inventive process by which he created his best-known works, Kentridge draws and erases with charcoal, recording his compositions at each state. He then displays a video projection of the looped images alongside their highly worked and re-worked source drawings. In this way, his process and aesthetic concerns are inextricably linked with the narrative power of his work, as in his “Nine Drawings for Projection” series (1989-2003), which depicts two fictional white South Africans navigating the ambiguities of contemporary South Africa. With his highly personal and often quiet works in seeming tension with the brutality of his content, Kentridge expresses a profound ambivalence about his native country.

South African, b. 1955, Johannesburg, South Africa, based in Johannesburg, South Africa

Biography

Ellen Gallagher’s minimalist paintings, collages, and films examine the development of African-American stereotypes. The artist Incorporates pop culture ephemera into her work, particularly postwar-era advertisements for hairstyles, wigs, and skin products targeting African-American women. In her “DeLuxe” series (2004–05), Gallagher embellished images of hair-straightening and skin-whitening advertisements from magazines such as Ebony and Sepia. Viewed as intricate abstractions from afar, “DeLuxe” examines formal ideas about materials, seriality, and process alongside its narrative of race. Recurring elements in Gallagher’s work include minstrel-like lips, the use of penmanship paper and other found materials applied to canvas, and surfaces transformed to illegibility by methods like smudging, staining, and puncturing.

objectives
make a series of portraits of disappeared children trying to distort their faces, I have used these researchs,because the material that I will use in these portraits is newspaper connecting the material and the theme of the series of drawings trying to make a memorial to the images, and the distortion of the image exacerbate their faces.
the material is basically newspaper, B8 and charcoal graphite pencils, and some parts of the faces will use acrylic white paint to use the black and white tones. The tonalities that are seen inside the drawing are parts of the natural newspaper impression. Once each sketch is finished, I will place the newspaper’s sheets in the sun so that it produces the natural sepia tones to imbue the newspaper, with the purpose of producing the sensation of past stories, the memory returning images from the past to the present with the intention of producing a certain invocation of each story behind each image.
