Hermanas Painting

Sisterhood. They are family, sisters, cousins, friends. Like when we are close as two fingers crossed. for the best and the worst. for life. we have each other's backs. we are always there for the other. And for nature which is our mother. we are slow paced like snails. we are migrants, we look odd, don't quite belong in here. we are just passing by. we do not rush but we are confident that we will prevail. our ways will endure, like the queens we are. like the love we have for each other. todas íbamos a ser reinas. The support was made by myself. I glued and primed the mexican cotton canvas into an also mexican MDF. And after the painting was done it was framed in a gorgeous gold frame with some texture by a framer in Oaxaca. The whole idea was to create sacred art, but of course it is pretty pagan. You can still pray to the sisters, if you want. This painting is part of the series Migraciones, or Migrations. There are four paintings with the same measurements and they are meant to be hanged together, preferably. Because I have been twice an immigrant, nature, landscape, geography is something I use as metaphor for our true place in this world, (only travelers nothing more) with no borders, with ups and downs and light and darkness. I believe my unique style evolves from the painting of life as a collage of metaphors. Therefore, they find themselves in the postmodern tradition of Borges. With a feminist twist. I hope you find endless possibilities when creating your own meaning for this image.
