Naia del Castillo mages show "people in the grip of the humdrum". A chair attached to a woman's skirt, a businessman's jacket hung on the head of a businesswoman, a bed-nightshirt that engulfs a sleeping woman. What is involved here is a line of thinking to do with our subordination to the things and people all aroud us. Who owns who? In Naia del Castillo's portraits, she also focuses on human relations and the emotional bonds which mix and mingle like hair on the face, hiding certain identities and constructing new ones.
