Marcela Trujillo (Santiago de Chile, 1969), better known by her pseudonym Maliki,[1] is a Chilean visual artist, painter, cartoonist[2] and professor who has dabbled mainly in figurative art,[3] and neo-pop.
[7] Although she does not define herself as a militant of any feminist group, she acknowledges that in her pictorial work, it is possible to find this discourse, particularly in themes related to the defense of women's rights such as "the need to understand (...) [her] reality as a woman in this society".
[8] Trujillo's pictorial work has focused on representing allegories of "female heroines in a futuristic perspective".
[10] As a cartoonist, she published her comics in the newspaper El Desconcierto (2013) and in the online magazine Había una vez (2014/2015).
She has been invited to numerous comic book festivals and events related to the dissemination of graphic storytelling (Caracas Book Fair, Venezuela, 2009; Latin American Comic Symposium, Stanford University, 2011; Comicópolis, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2013; Lima en cuadritos, Lima, Peru, 2013).
