In historical development, the femalefatbody has been the object of stigmatization, revaluation, pathologization and empowerment. Women who possess these corporalities are linked to the 'ugly'or te undesirable. Faced with this problem, an artistic proposal for neo-expressionist sculpture in presented for theresignification andempowerment of the sense of beuty of fat female bodies. This is born from the personal experiences of the author that create the ideas embodied directly in the clay and that has as references Ramón Conde, Xi Hongfei and Bayardo Cuenca. The main points of the work are the expressiveness in the faces, the forms and the details typical of neo-expressionism. In addition, a surveywas conducted to find the perception of 16 women chosen for convenience and the information collected was analyzed narratively. The results obtained show the persistence of the medical discourse, but also highlight the discourses of acceptance, empowerment and recognition of the sense of beauty in these diverse corporalities.
