Marina Del PozoMadonna and child 7

Based on the painting styles of the Madonnas of the past, the artist takes up an old subject with a new rendering.

She is inspired by a quote from the conceptual artist Bill Viola which she believes perfectly reflects her thinking of Mary as a universal female figure present in almost all spiritual and religious traditions. She maintains an infinite capacity to absorb and relieve the pain and suffering of all who come to her. She is the personification of the feminine principle linked to the ideas of creativity procreation inner strength love and compassion. As a mother, she is a timeless icon that transcends everyday life. As an earthly Mary, she is a seeker, a traveler who takes her place in a vast natural world on a difficult journey that gives her strength and compassion.
