Yemaya
16 x20 canvas, painted with acrylic and 3d paint. 2009
in Santeria Yemayá is seen as the mother of all living things as well as the owner of all waters.
This painting was inspired by my brother who has been my back bone and a major reason why i have continued to follow my passion.
This painting of yemaya has the camino of being ashaba this path is said to be so beautiful that no human can look at her directly.
For that reason I have made this painting faceless.
The colors are vibrant due to me wanting to refer to the several caminos yemaya has.
Ogunte: In this path, she is a warrior,
Asesu: This path is very old. She is said to be deaf and answers her patrons slowly,
Okoto: This path is known as the underwater assassin. Her colors are indigo and blood red and her symbolism includes that of pirates,
Majalewo: This path lives in the forest with the herbalist orisha. (Teals and turquoises. )
Ibu Aro Her colors are darker; indigo, crystal and red coral. Her crown (and husband) is the orisha Oshumare, the rainbow.
