Inmaculada, Francisco Quintanar, 2019
In Inmaculada, Francisco Quintanar reclaims the sacred with quiet subversion. A nude female figure — printed in a haunting, cyanotype-like blue — stands within a gold mandorla, her body upright, arms raised, eyes turned skyward. The reference is unmistakable: the Virgin of Guadalupe’s iconic silhouette, reimagined without veils, dogma or idealization. Printed in 2019 at Gabinete Gráfico, a printmakers’ collective in Oaxaca known for its politically engaged work, this woodcut resists easy classification.
