Muchachas y Flamboyan Painting

Muchachas y Flamboyan was conceived after a very long and thorough observation. The magnificent settings of the beach of Las-Terrenas, my home, with the ocean and the Coconut trees in the background. The “Flamboyan time”; the blossom season of the Flamboyant tree (“Flame tree” Delonix Regia). The giant colorful canopies and the massive amount of petals that cover the ground below the trees. The unique red-orange color of the flowers which fills the air with a burning, but naive kind of passion. The center of the work is dedicated to “Las Muchachas”, Dominican Spanish for girls. Each of them represent a different age group, emphasizing what I perceive as a rather rapid transition between the groups. The braided girl on the left, still allowed to dress and play like a “Tom Boy”. The teenager, who already pretends to be a woman and is also expected by society to express her femininity. The young woman, who is already expected to be a mother, and on the right side, the young “Abuela”, the grandmother.
