Drawn deeply from the artists own journey: This work echoes the feeling of being misunderstood, isolated, yet deeply connected to something ancient and holy. Just as the Black Madonna has been venerated for centuries as a protector, a healer, and a silent witness to suffering, this mother figure holds her child not just in arms, but in purpose.
The child stares forward with quiet strength, her future held close to the chest of her mother—who, like the artist, bears both the burden and blessing of legacy. Together, they embody survival through womanhood, color, faith, and creation.
It is a healing. It is ancestral protection wrapped in petals and pigment.
