ABOUT THE ARTWORK
A couple of days after the devastating Cat 5 Hurricane that hit Puerto Rico, I started painting this piece in an attempt to breathe in some life out of pure despair and devastation. The hurricane wiped out every single tree, plant, and flowers on the island. When I first ventured outside looking for essentials, all I saw was brown dirt, burnt nature, no hint of green anywhere. The only thing that came to mind was to paint something bright green and colorful. The main female can be interpreted as Mother Nature in all her fabulousness. There's a second character in there that represents the Maria, the evil hurricane witch. There are numerous hidden symbolic elements and lyrics of music that were an inspiration during the months I worked on this piece, over two years in total.

Michelle Yegros
Puerto Rico
“Explosive brushstrokes and frenetic scribbles burst forth onto the wood. Oil pastels. Acrylic. These are grand scale portraits plucked from the commotion of red-raw emotion, intellectual reflection and the story that is born there. When there is darkness, I seek out the cracks. That’s where the narrator finds the light... as she paints. Inspired by the energy of the great Expressionists and Surrealists, this is intensely executed art that conflates the human figure and persistent motifs: silhouettes, eyes, animals and the mundane. Follow the white rabbit and see how deep the rabbit hole goes, as they say.” - MY. Michelle Yegros, a seasoned and prolific artist across many disciplines, from Illustration to CG Animation to Advertising Design, has recently put a welcome end to a 15-year hiatus in her classical painting. An impromptu trip to Spain managed to dislodge an artistic kidney stone and the rush for her paintbrush couldn’t have been quicker. The floodgates of creativity are now well and truly open. Welcome to the journey as it unfolds...
