Abstract
El misterio es una de las cualidades femeninas exaltadas por Marcel Duchamp y Byung-Chul Han, cuando hablan de la sombra como simbología del erotismo femenino y el ocultamiento como elemento de misterio inherente a la belleza. Una idea, por un lado, claramente relacionada con el lugar que ha tenido la mujer creadora a lo largo de la historia del arte, creando en la sombra. Sin embargo, algo que había sido en su contra, ha terminado por convertirse en una de las características estéticas más potentes de su naturaleza. Apostando por esta vía poética del misterio femenino, realizamos un breve recorrido por figuras artísticas del arte contemporáneo iberoamericano, unas más conocidas y otras que todavía permanecen en la sombra, cuya obra versa sobre la belleza en relación con el misterio, el ocultamiento, lo secreto, la ausencia y la identidad.
Mystery is one of the feminine qualities highlighted by Marcel Duchamp and Byung-Chul Han when referring to the shadow as a symbol in feminine erotism, and conceal-ment as an element of the intrinsic mystery to beauty. In a way, this concept is related clearly to the place the creative woman has had throughout art history, creating in the shadows. However, something that was aga-inst her, has now become one of the most powerful aesthetic features of her natu-re. Committing to a poetic path of feminine mystery, a brief walkthrough artistic figures of Ibero-American contemporary art is explo-red. Some of these artists are more renowned, and others remain in the shadows whose work is about beauty and its relation to mystery, concealment, absence, identity, and secrets.
