"La Poema del Paraiso Tropical" is an abstract coral reef fluid painting that pays homage to my Dominican Caribbean roots. The inclusion of a Spanish poem adds a personal touch to the piece, as it reflects on my memories of a saying from my mother that eased my worries. It reads, "Abajo del mar se pone frio...pero si flotas arriba se pone tibia. Cuando llegas al superficie, suelta tu aliento. El dia viene manana". It translates to: "under the sea it becomes cold, but if you float on top the water gets warm. When you get to the surface, let go of your breath. The day comes tomorrow". The phrase "el dia viene manana" reminds one that feelings are temporary, and just like the waves in the ocean, they come and go. The painting captures the essence of floating on top of the water from swimming under, feeling the warmth of the sun and letting go of worries. Iand it's a reminder that feelings are temporary and that we can move on from them with time. Just like the waves in the ocean, each emotion comes and goes, eventually flattening out at shore. This painting serves as a reminder to let go of our worries and embrace the warmth that life has to offer. As feelings are temporary and that we can move on from them with time.
