Abstract

The following degree project called "Mural painting as an expressive medium in the artistic representation of the orced retention of women in Ecuador" has as its objective through an artistic intervention to be captured in a public space in the city of Machala. The artistic medium to be used will be muralism in which the use of expressionism will be used, as well as elements that reinforce the proposed research. Throughout the history of art, it has been evolving adapting to the new times, this is how street art appeared, where there is complete freedom to do whatever you want to express. Therefore, art has been moving away from the traditional towards new forms of artistic representations, experimenting with techniques, shapes and colors. Always seeking to convey messages, thoughts or ideals to an audience. The muralism will always get criticism from people in general, so the work has to be related to the time and space where it is going to be done. In general, murals usually have a message based on a social problem or also raise a topic of common interest, this is how these works get comments and criticisms that help a community to reflect, analyze and socialize based on what is observed in the mural. The artistic current with which the work will work as such will be the expressionism, being this movement the most appropriate to express our intention, which is to generate that the spectator awakens his subjective part achieving that this one obtains own criteria. Expressionism is characterized by going deep into the ideas, emotions or feelings of people, this is achieved by its high range in the use of strong colors with exaggerated and expressive strokes. The fields of study that are linked to this project are sociology, psychology and technology, which will serve as support for our research that will provide necessary information for the proposed general topic. With respect to the research topic, this focuses on the kidnapping of women, which based on the current context has been increasing in recent years in Ecuador, causing the Ecuadorian population to hold marches in the streets to go against this crime. It is essential to note that security in Ecuador has suffered many declines despite the fact that the rulers in interviews and on television media claim that they are fighting against insecurity and that they are reducing criminal acts, but in reality it is quite the opposite Based on the theme, the mural is a representation of the pain, anguish and despair that a whole family goes through for a loved one who is torn away from their home, leaving a void that is very difficult to fill for family members and loved ones who have had affection for that person. The preparation of the support for the realization of the work as well as the materials, its process was planned so that the proposal can be exposed outdoors and the public can analyze it without any problem.
