Carmen Gracia: “Matilde Alonso Salvador leads the pictorial language to their limits. With her painted women, she tries to disembowel the ultimate sense of the inner tear. In her paintings, she destroys the world of appearances, conventions about the beauty of the female body, to enter into an inner world whose physical presence is of colours and lines. This break causes that the relationship between the viewer and her paintings, is complex and ambivalent. Her paintings are presented at the same time evocative and disturbing, direct and abstract. The female body is perceived in a contradictory impulse of self-assertion and self-destruction, active conscience and reinterpretation dream.
