"Determined to fly" Painting

These are extraordinary times because of the flight restrictions due to covid-19. we cannot go and visit as we did before. cannot cross the mountains, the deserts and oceans to see you anymore. i am missing you and i dream that i fly, i grew wings with my papaya powers and head off to see you, my little precious girl. 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 pray to these sisters, if you want to travel again. May your travelings be slow and local. 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) birds with no borders. A grey sky that may soon turn bright blue. 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.
