Mexico Painting

I love this idea of raw nationalism. People often refer to their country of origin as the “motherland”. I thought about what that would look like personified, especially her lips. She would have to be seductive and enticing, vibrant and bold yet also coy and flirty. When she kissed you she’d leave an indelible mark. I wanted to capture that pride and show it in a way that’s not very subtle but perhaps different than how one would normally think to display a country’s flag.
