The opening was great! A constant stream of people coming and staying for the duration of the opening. It was really an invigorating event!
One of the two paintings chosen for the exhibit was from the series: "Memories of a Long Past Gone"
"Mystical Triangle". Oil on Canvas. (c)
The series is an unfolding exploration of rituals and designs of the Diaguita Indians who lived on the American soil of Northern Argentina. Their culture developed between the 8th & 16th centuries in what are now the provinces of Salta, Catamarca, La Rioja, and Tucuman.
The Diaguitas were one of the most advanced Pre-Columbian cultures in Argentina. They were advanced in architecture and agricultural techniques. Their designs depict a commitment to finding an expression and manifestation of a spiritual life within the powerful simplicity of Mother Nature. They worshipped the Sun, the thunder and lighting. They were very good farmers and had many rituals related to earth fertility and life cycles. They also worshipped some animals such as the serpents, felines, ostriches, and related them to their agricultural success.
In this series I used some of their designs and placed them in the midst of an overworked background symbolizing the struggles of our 21st century to find spiritual, emotional, and physical peace among all of us humans while traversing across this planet.
