Virgen de las Vírgenes explores the sin of gluttony through the symbolism of an oversized mouth and tongue, representing an insatiable hunger that extends beyond food into desire itself. At the center of the painting is a non-binary mermaid, a mythical figure that symbolizes fluidity, transformation, and the freedom to exist beyond traditional binaries. Inspired by the song Virgen de las Vírgenes by Gloria Trevi, the painting reflects the song's portrayal of someone who is never fully satisfied with their sexual experiences, approaching each new encounter with the same intensity and excitement as if it were the first. In this work, gluttony becomes more than physical excess—it represents an endless craving for intimacy, validation, and emotional fulfillment. Through the non-binary mermaid, the painting invites viewers to reflect on how desire can be both liberating and consuming, revealing the beauty and vulnerability of wanting more than can ever be fully attained.
