Original artwork description:
This series of paintings is inspired by the Divine Feminine in connection with music since musical, artistic and poetic inspiration was always thought to spring from this Divinity.
One of the main techniques for connecting to this power of inspiration was drumming. The drum was the means our ancestors used to summon the goddess and also the instrument through which she spoke. The drumming priestess was the intermediary between divine and human realms. Aligning herself with sacred rhythms, she acted as summoner and transformer, invoking divine energy and transmitting it to the community.
Djembe is considered an instrument of the soul, that brings peace, understanding and love throughout the world.
For this painting I have used acrylics, embroidery thread and natural linen canvas. I include embroidery in my works as a a tool for female empowerment and peaceful protest, I consider the embroidery as a space of freedom, introspection, self-knowledge and sisterhood.
Materials used:
Acrylic paint, embroidery threads
