Paloma Contreras Lomas' contribution to Linhas Tortas introduces a captivating artwork that invites deep exploration into its technical intricacies and thematic dimensions. Crafted with a meticulous blend of graphite, charcoal, and oil pastel on canvas, the artwork radiates a fusion of textures and shades that beckon viewers into its visual narrative.

The monumental 'Uno muere muchas veces' stretches across an impressive expanse, spanning over 8 meters from the gallery ceiling to the floor. This sheer scale becomes an integral aspect of the artwork's impact, enveloping the observers in an immersive experience that envelopes them within its grandeur. Lomas addresses topics such as patriarchy, violence, class segregation, colonial guilt and constructed middle-class identity with a cinematic sense of humor. She exercises a playful sense of lightness to draw the viewer in to ponder heavy issues that are rarely addressed in Mexican society. Her work seeks to push back at the violent male gaze of the landscape by confronting its historical association with the male libido, the occupation and instrumentalization of territory, and economies of extraction.

Lomas' composition is epic in every sense, a tapestry woven with an interplay of motifs that extends far beyond the visual. Within this expansive canvas, layers of meaning and symbolism are meticulously interwoven. The artist engages in a dialogue that probes deep into societal dynamics and cultural narratives. She delves into themes like power dynamics, social hierarchies, historical narratives, and the human connection with the environment.
