Beauty Queen is an artistic series about women and the dilemma they have to choice between hapiness & power in a patriarchy social world. I decided to represent some of the most iconic women in her different eras of human history. Living legends and still after their death but also symbol of their own vulnerabality. Real icons like Marylin Monroe, Cleopatra, Kylie Jenner and Frida Kahlo. This art series is about women’s beauty standards throughout history. How they used it to achieve their goals, how they started from the bottom to climb on the top of the world’s scale and access at the end of what everybody want to access. But unfortunately, what bring this icons to their own decline ? Power is it a hindrance or a boost for women’s hapiness ?

The dictatorship of women’s beauty.
People want to rise Kylie Jenner as a living icon, no matter what people will think about her, indeed. But can we say that her multiple surgeries to get her beauty socially accepted in the elite’s world, will cause her own degradation ? At her early age, she suffers of multiple surgeries for being accepted and recognized in the actual tyranny of women beauty standards and stereotypes. Social pressure against women beauties, push her to transform her child face and body to looks like the typical occident beauty types.

The persecution of women’s life goals.
Marilyn Monroe was a living legend too, a model, actress and singer. She was powerful, rich, glorious by the past and still now. She was desired by a lot who succumbed of her charm, literally a sex-symbol. But she was depressed because of her loneliness, and the deception to feel that she was not succeeded all her goals (unsuccessful marriages, no child and drugs issues). She was finally always perceived as a sexual object. This, is an important social pressure for a women of her time and probably still ours...
