Original artwork description:

Based on past Madonnas painting styles an old subjet with a new rendering
I found this quote from the conceptual artist Bill Viola that perfectly reflects my thinking Mary is a universal female figure present in nearly 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 related to ideas of creativity procreation inner strength love and compassion
As a mother she is a timeless icon that transcends everyday everyday life and flows endlessly behind her as time and space are displaced As a terrestrial Mary she is a researcher, a traveler who takes her place in a vast natural world on a difficult journey that endows her with strength and compassion

Materials used:
