Henrique Faria New York and META Miami present Feminine Ecology, a compelling dialogue between Venezuelan artist Mercedes Elena González and Trinidadian artist Valerie Brathwaite, centered on female sexuality and nature.

From 1976 to 1985, Mercedes Elena González (Caracas, 1952) created her first significant body of drawings, which delve into the experience of womanhood. These works feature intricate circles and shapes that evoke body parts,—fleshy landscapes, spirals, and seashells—symbolic representations of the female reproductive cycle, linking the female body to the natural world.

Valerie Brathwaite ((Trinidad and Tobago, 1940), with a career spanning over 50 years, draws her primary inspiration from nature. As a sculptor, she focuses on organic abstraction, crafting forms with simple sculptural volumes and sinuous lines that echo the flora, fauna, and landscapes of the Caribbean and South America.

Feminine Ecology celebrates nature and fertility, offering a radical and poetic exploration of the female body as a dynamic yet complex ecology, deeply rooted in growth, development and, ultimately, regeneration.
