"Alicia Calbet's work raises questions about women's identity through portraits of machines. Their gears represent all the cultural and historical burdens that weigh on their bodies and that determine their existence to the root. They are portraits of fictitious women who cry out to reconstruct and resignify themselves.

Her engravings are a metaphor for the Western observer's artificial vision of other cultures throughout history.

To create her prints, Alicia combines techniques such as woodcut and linography with chine-coll� for the application of color.

Alicia Calbet graduated in Fine Arts from the Complutense University of Madrid in 2011. Her work has been selected and exhibited in several international group exhibitions in New York, London, Finland, Madrid and Porto, such as ""Mapping Narratives 2021"" at the INTERNATIONAL PRINT CENTER in New York, in the 2022 edition of ""Woolwich International Print Fair 2022"" in London and in the ""INTERNATIONAL CREATIVE GRAPHIC PRINTING TRIENNIAL 2022"" at the Jyv�skyl� Art Museum in Finland."
