Her art places the politicisation of the female body and identity at center stage. By focusing on the violence of the beauty industry and the susceptibility of the human mind to social tendencies, she begs to question information propaganda and consumerism as tools for control. The visual art that she produces from intensive introspection is developing an iconography that critiques the modern female freedom of choice.

Ascóniga is one of BLOC Art’s represented artists.
