Mauve is the color palette Monet used to represent his wife Camille Doncieux on her deathbed. It's also the color palette of suffering and complex trauma; of visible and invisible bruises, from the female gaze. MAUVE, “La piel malva” in its spanish title, is an audiovisual diptych about the depth of the emotional wounds of domestic violence; the same one that the surrealist Dora Maar lived with the minotaur Picasso. "Mauve" was a finalist in the Filminuto category of the Mobile Film Latam of the Conservatorio Audiovisual de Colombia in 2022.
