Silvia Aviles
Mother Earth, 2022, Oil painting on canvas, 36”x 36” inches, $3,500
This painting serves as a powerful homage to the Earth, that gives us all that we need to
survive. The depiction includes the four essential elements: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. These
symbolizing vital aspects for our existence. On the other hand, I try to capture the essence of
femininity and the meaning of what women represent on earth. The contemplation of these
elements alongside the figures serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to honor and
protect the environment. The painting invites viewers to reflect on their own connections to
nature and the inherent beauty found in the balance of life.
この絵は、私たちが生きていくために必要なものすべてを与えてくれる地球への力強いオマージュである。描かれているのは、4つの不可欠な要素：台地、水、空気、火。これらは私たちの存在に不可欠な側面を象徴している。一方、私は女性らしさの本質と、女性が地球上で象徴とするものの意味を捉えようとしている。人物とともにこれらの要素を熟考することは、環境を尊重し保護する私たちの連帯責任を思い起こさせる役割を果たす。この絵画は、自然との繋がりや、生命のバランスに見出される固有の美しさについて考えるよう、見る人を誘う。
Blue Moon, 2023, Acrylic on canvas, 24 x 30 inches, $1,800
In this painting captures, the profound connection between femininity, nature, and the beauty
and mystical qualities of the blue moon. This painting portrays a woman in a serene meditation,
immersed in the captivating atmosphere created by the blue moon overhead. The blue moon,
often seen as a rare and beautiful manifestation, symbolizes mystery, intuition, and deepened
emotional awareness. Its captivating light bathes the scene, evoking a sense of tranquility and
introspection.
この絵は、女性らしさ、自然、そして青い月の美しさと神秘的な特質の間の深いつながりを捉えている。この絵は、頭上の青い月が作り出す魅惑的な雰囲気に浸りながら、静かに瞑想する女性を描いている。ブルーム―ンは、しばしば稀有で美しい現れとして見られ、神秘性、直観、感情的な気づきの深まりを象徴している。その魅惑的な光がシーンを照らし、静寂と内省の感覚を呼び起こす。
