Palomitay (2025)Acrylic painting by Gisella Stapleton

Palomitay is a name that comes from the Spanish word 'Paloma', 'Dove' in English. Palomitay is the name of the woman because from her a dove is flying away. Inside her dove there is a phrase 'Deja la vida volar' which means 'Let life fly' it can also be translated as 'Let life flow'. What I wanted to say with this painting is the importance finding a sense of freedom and joy in the present moment, loving every second of live without worries, focusing on passions and happiness rather than seeking validation from others. This phrase invite us to spontaneity, willingness to try new things and step outside of one's comfort zone.
