About The Original Painting

Prayerful (Red), 2018

Gouache and Acrylic on paper

7” x 5”

 

This beautiful body wrapped in a red cloak of stars is in a deep state of prayer.  Gold lines radiate from her over a dark background.

 

This painting is part of my series Beautiful Bodies which are acrylic canvas paintings of skeletons with hearts offering the meditation of “Be In Your Body and See with Your Heart”. 

 

In this series skeletons symbolize our essential connection to nature and our ancestors and the heart is a reminder of our capacity for nurturing relationships.  In my color palette black references grounded wisdom, white symbolizes interconnection, and red radiates passion.

 

They are part of the artistic tradition of “memento mori,” or macabre celebrations of life and death.  You can find examples of this iconography from the earliest neolithic creations through to our modern art history.

 

In my compositions I primarily use layers of black, thin washes of color, a variety of dots and lines combined with minimal gestures of realism.
