This section intuits the relationship between art and everyday life. No looking for places or areas with a particular character or theme or persons with special features to find the relationship between art and the universe, and Javier Gil has pointed out in "In the Garden of Venus" (2003)
... beauty rests in the ordinary and mundane things. It is not the exclusive province of the arts, or the speeches looking for some truth in the name of art or spirit. Pertaining to life and is not colonized or reachable, emerge anywhere, anytime. We must not create a separate space to find the beauty in fact look at some place or in any particular practice is deprived of seeing her in the rest of existence " [ 1] .
While it is true that life experiences can not be ignored when entering the territory of aesthetics, art can address various issues even in the midst of daily life, simplicity is very close to the traditions of the East, they are based more on simple things and in this regard is important to highlight the condition of the existence of women in the history of mankind, the presence of women in art is a mirror that lets appreciate the maternal relationship can be established human beings with the universe.
And later, the author expresses this beautifully: Learning to grasp the substance accidentally as big as small a universe in detail, in a gesture there is perceptual ability of someone who knows a woman.
The metaphor is inscribed in Greek tragedy the Odyssey: Penelope, the woman waiting for the hero while tirelessly weaves in some semblance of patience and stoicism. His work is made of endless waiting and stubborn confidence in the return of her lover, while doing the world is falling to pieces, waiting to rebuild their tireless work.
Confessions of Penelope is a small drum set Bayadere, those where grandmothers embroidered long. Each contains a relationship between woman art, woman-time universe woman, woman-house. Photos, pins, patches, hooks, bits of thread - intimately remembered objects they represent an everyday world that identifies a specific group in society such as seamstresses, dressmakers, highlighting the way of perceiving the world, and also noted domestic activity of many women, giving a ritual value and validity as evidence of a culture that leads to the construction of women as a category contained in the human.
