About The Artwork
The idea of representing the pandemic and post-pandemic time in a symbolic way led me to this painting. I chose the representation of a Nereid, a marine rider from Greek mythology, since he was the protector of the shipwrecked. The theme of protectors has always been very present in my work since it seems to me a very poetic way of remembering that there will always be something or someone who watches over us at all times. The issue of shipwrecked is precisely what has been the feeling during the pandemic for so many people around the world, being in a state of alert and restlessness. The painting not only represents the savior and protector of the shipwrecked, in its structure it tries to create harmony with the four elements being present. The rider and his horse, hybrid beings of water and earth. The fire, hidden in the shapes of the fins and waves, represents both: a danger and a positive mooving force, pushing us out of our comfort zone and giving us the strength to move forward. Symbolizing the air: 9 colored balloons that raise the hero to a new level. The number 9 present in the balloons represents a magic number, (3 x 3 as the number of God and the Trinity), that is what represents the faith. The Number 12 present on the scales on the back of the sea horse represents time, that time that heals as it passes.

The Art of the Symbolic Carmina VELASCO deals with the symbolic in her painting, which she captures in theatrically staged images. The artist VELASCO was born in 1973 in La Paz, Bolivia. She completed her artistic training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg as a master student of Prof. Rolf-Gunter Dienst and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. VELASCO showed her art in international exhibitions and is represented in international collections. Carmina VELASCO's paintings are associated with Magical Realism and originates from the mythical and fable world of her native land Bolivia. Nevertheless, it does not follow a trend, but stands for itself in the cosmos of art. In her paintings, the artist translates symbolic narratives and iconic pictorial motifs that radiate an incredible reality and liveliness into a universally understandable language. Her paintings create a meta-level between fantasy and reality. The absurd, the impossible, the strange in the good sense is deliberately theatrically staged by Carmina VELASCO. The artist feeds her paintings with symbolic set pieces that give the paintings a deeper meaning. The enthusiasm for beauty and the observation of nature are the starting point for VELASCO's work, which make the artist's passion for painting felt at first glance. Her oil paintings, drawings, and gouache depict human (especially female) figures encountering animal beings. They are archetypes that come from a dream world and show the fateful in VELASCO's painting as symbolic pictorial motifs. The paintings stimulate the viewer to think and evoke a meditative interiority.
