Matrimonium, 2020, Acrylic, found object (old fork) on canvas 16 x 20 inches

The becoming of a woman and a mother is a tedious heroic process. A woman has so many facets to her life that trying to catch it on canvas results in a busy surface, with a lot of symbolism involved. Womanhood, then motherhood, require sharp thinking, intuition, manual hard work, domestic attributions, maintenance of sexual attractiveness, and a positive approach to all the arrows life sends towards you. A woman is caught in the web of love for the partner, adoration for the children, caring for old parents, building up a career, maintaining the dwell while keeping pretty and fresh 24/7.
