2nd painting in series “Evolución 4.0”

This painting was conceived from the energy that surrounded me faced with a tight deadline before the start of the group show. As we all know although we try to push our way through things no matter the cost at times…”timing is everything,” life can’t be lived forced. My countdown to finalizing the super-sized paintings had begun. I had to leverage the “stinging” effect of working under pressure into my brush stroke. It was as if, I was experiencing my own, “Burning Man” retreat as I developed the new series.

This second painting is a reflection of my future self and what’s to come. No matter what direction I have taken throughout my life, all signs keep pointing to the next art related door.

Two things inspired this second painting: A sketch I had created to show empowerment of woman and a photo a 55-feet tall sculpture of a woman in a beautifully elegant pose. The sculpture is called, Truth is Beauty, the second of three sculptures in a series called The Bliss Project by artist Marco Cochrane. Constructed of welded steel rods and balls and covered in stainless steel mesh skin.

There are a ton of signs linked to how I found this amazing sculpture online however I would have to write a book to acknowledge all. In short, I will say that my inspiration was found is by looking into my soul and the burning woman within me… continuing to pass along the message of hope and inspire confidence in generations to come.

Evolución 4.0 is a series of paintings based on a retrospective of the artist’s life and those who have influenced her, along with a foreshadowing of her life in the future, and whom from her past she may meet again. Each of the paintings in this series will represent a self-portrait of the woman she has been or will become.
