In this new series, the artist is interested in the TAT (Thematic Apperception Test) a test developed by the clinical psychologist Henry Alexander Murray. The TAT is recognized as an image interpretation technique which consists in having the patient tell a story from a series of boards each representing an ambiguous situation. Carmen uses the TAT technique on the viewer. As a result, she delegates to him the responsibility of projecting his own imagination, his biography and other psychological characteristics from the observation of the works. Thus, the artist places the viewer in a situation of discomfort by letting him question the representation and interpretation of the painted images.

La obra de Carmen González Castro se centra en el cuerpo humano. Al revisar los temas mitológicos, Carmen cuestiona los cánones de belleza actuales y nuestra percepción de ellos en comparación con otras épocas. Su pintura realista se inspira en el estilo de la nueva figuración, sus retratos nunca son hiperrealistas, por lo que a menudo recurre a la deformación.
