Original artwork description:

This series of artworks are inspired in a feeling of calm, tranquility and being with and caring about ourselves. Moon bathing is an ancestral practice of exposing oneself on the light of the moon in an effort to drink in the cooling lunar energy.
In the other hand, The Calathea plants (native to tropical rainforest in South and Central America and the West Indies), symbolise a NEW BEGINNING.
For this painting I have used acrylics, embroidery thread and natural linen canvas.
I embroidered myself a little detail on the skirt of the lady.
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.
This piece is perfect for that place where you give time to yourself, self love, self care, relaxation and tranquility. I love looking at my Moon bathing series while having my tea as it transmit so much peace and calm.
