Escultura - Sculpture
Little Girl Repeatedly Raped By Spanish Priest Valenzuela Over Portrait of Elephant Killed by Spanish Monarch,
mixed media on board, 91 x 56 x 18cm The sculpture above is a personal homage to a girl who was systematically raped by a Spanish Catholic priest in 2005 at the age of 11. I mounted the sculpture on a canvas in which I originally painted a head portrait of an elephant killed by the former Spanish monarch Don Juan Carlos I in one of his typical African hunting extravaganzas.

El “Cura Pancho”, Francisco Valenzuela, ex párroco de Putaendo, violó y abusó reiteradamente a tres menores de edad. «En el año 2005, cuando tenía 11 años, me tocaba la vagina por encima de la ropa, en una sala de la parroquia llamada ‘Sala del Perdón’, donde cerraba la puerta y ventanas, me apoyaba sobre la muralla, tocando mi cuerpo, mis pechos y mi trasero a veces por encima de la ropa. Después se bajó los pantalones y su boxer y puso mi mano sobre su pene y me dio asco, comenzando a masturbarse en mi presencia. Luego tomó nuevamente mi mano y eyaculó sobre ella. Al terminar me pasó un pañuelo blanco para que me limpiara.»

The following three sculptures belong to an ongoing series of works I started in 2010. Every sculpture is a portrait of a banker as I imagine they would be cast by aboriginals given the chance. Intimidation, fear, disgust and betrayal are the words that I force myself to bear in mind when starting a new portrait for the Bankers series.

When writing a novel in the mid 1990s I found out during my research that he died of syphilis in the same city where I was born.
