"The Alchemist Woman" Painting

“The Alchemist Woman” By Nicolette Capuano Subdued by layers of veil-like paint washes, the woman emerges from the background with a strong, yet peaceful gaze. Her aura evokes a sense of creation and "all things new". She represents beauty, strength, elegance, nurturing and femininity. Her necklace serves as an Ex Voto - a symbol of gratitude for wishes or prayers that have been answered. Set within the framework of geometric shapes the woman is paired with the concepts of structure, patience, diligence and the ability manifest her desires. Interestingly enough, the original painting started off looking very different. Underneath this piece was an original painting of a woman with a floral crown. and rendered in a photo realistic style. The painting was an expression of gratitude for long awaited prayers and a phase of coming into a new phase of power within the artist's life. After a year and a half of living with the piece in her private collection, and having gone through a period of personal and artistic growth, the artist painted over this original image to evoke a sense of a more grounded and "quiet" confidence in the figure. This further plays into her title as she “transforms” from one stage of life to the next. Just as we carry our former selves with us that grow and evolve, so has the piece.
