The Muse,: Yadira Pascault Orozco

 

Yadira Pascault Orozco has served as a muse for works of modern visual art and also literature. The Mexican muralist Julio Carrasco Bretón depicted Pascault Orozco's face on a large scale wall painting created specifically for Hotel El Parque México in Mexico City. As well, the lead character "Violeta" in Mexican writer Xavier Velasco's novel, Diablo Guardián was largely inspired by Orozco's personal character and speech patterns. The book won the Premio Alfaguara book award in 2003. 

In mid-2016, after attending the opening of Perception an exhibition by celebrated New York contemporary artist Carole Feuerman at KM Fine Arts in Los Angeles, the artist later invited Yadira Pascault Orozco to New York to become the subject of a new full-sized hyper-realist sculpture.
