Life turns me, i don't know what you see
Close up
The beginning of a new paintingFor a long time now i had the idea to do something with fertility goddessess. My restlessness lately lead me to painting again. And i almost obsessively started to paint my fertility goddess with the strange grimas. The cycle of attract-distract begins. First i fell in love with her, then i didn't like her too much and now when i finished her today i think she's wonderful. But only in time i grow fond of my art and then i can let go.....
After finishing Life turns me... i had the urge to paint another one as well. So the last painting is the set up for a new fertility goddess as well. It's all about the circle of life: birth, blood, death and the beginning of new life.
The sources of my inspiration.....

Yes Monica,
the life cycle, small deaths,
Wheel of Fortune, temperance .....
everything is energy, balance, and finally the "creation"; you did very well in bringing to light their fertility goddess!
she is beautiful and represents,
in my view, the pure creation!
good vibes dear!
embrace a strong and true!
I get a feeling from your art that I don't get from anyone/thing else. It is as though I can hear drums.

Hello Erin,
i hope that's good, to hear drums. :-) But i'm happy that my work touches you.
Sweet greetz and kisses!
Hi Green whisper,
yes she's a bit creepy. That's the reason i'm not sure of loving her or not. And yet, she atrracts me a lot also. I'm inspired by fertility statues. I'll post them as well i think. Maybe people recognize them.
Thanks for commenting such lovely words.
xoxo
@ Green whisper: i forgot --> i like that: she looks like insanity.
I know i was a little insane while giving birth. My poor hubbie love didn't know what to do; he had to hold my hand and at the same time i said leave me alone!! lol
I wonder what man will think of this work. Maybe too scary, too much red, too much.....?
wow, such a beautifull expressivefull work!
I love this new direction with your fertility goddesses! They are primitive yet so contemporary. It's a good question what men think of this honest a look at what it is to be female - we are always dealing with pain, blood, with the cycles of life and death and the changes of our own bodies that can make us insane and yet we have to be strong and wise and take care of others while also being beautiful and delicate like flowers...I think you have really captured something here, dear Monica! From the very depths of your soul...
Wonderful representation of fertility and the rictus grin of pain and exultation, a delerium. This is a very special work Momo, I absolutely adore this!
Very empowered imagery Moma Luna
I too am attracted to these images...and for good reason, no? as we are the FERTILITY GODDESS of the creative process...
You demonstrate this with such boldness and connection to the earth!
The world needs fertility, but not only the female fertility.
We need fertility about creation, new and useful ideas. In fact we need to re-born as human being.
Your work transmits this kind of need. It´s wise!
Kisses, dear Momo!
i prefer your versions of the images.
much more .
they have a expression of pleasure for me.
great works.
Monica,
Do you know what I see? I see strength and power, that is what I see! I also see a powerful creative force that is longing to be expressed. It makes me so, so happy to see your new works and to know that you are painting again. I see something that is not your normal style, so maybe some sort of rebirth?
I wish you lots of peace and continued strength, my friend!
Take good care,
Brian
helemaal sprakeloos zit ik te kijken naar de kracht die deze godin uitstraalt.
Ik denk dat dit pas een begin is, hier kun je niet stoppen!
XXXm
Mooi archetypisch werk!
WOW
Great
work
see
you
Powerful, your first Goddess. No doubt about what she is. I shall be interested to see how the second one works out.
not creepy at all to me, love her and her face is ecstatic, wonderful piece Monica!
...hola Momo...cuanto tiempo sin hablarnos...tu trabajo está tan impregnado de tu fuerza...saludos...
There is a huge outpouring of emotion in your work. There is life screaming to be liberated. And there is blood... always... because it is the very life... of life.
I love her... both of them!
And I so love your talent.
Nevine
quite a departure but still in line with your usual high skilled work!
glad your back
hello, I love the lines in your figure portrait - beautiful work!
I really like how expressive this piece is!
Sehr ausdrucksvoll!
Nur, auch ich habe deine aelteren
Gemaelde lieber.
Diese Seite von dir ist vielleicht
eine Aenderung in deinem Stil.
Monika
Very interesting work, i like your inspiration!
It's so easy to judge our work early, and push it one way or another. Holding the comments til the work sings is more a test to the creative flux. I like that you are / will be exhausting the possibilities. -J
thank you momo, you're so really kind!:)
i sincerely adore this one..the style, the expression, it's all accurate and very impressive!
hope to see more and more!:))
Hi Monica,
How are you?
I hope all is well. I have not seen you for ages!
This is another powerful image of female strength and fertility.
The cycle of life and death is a good subject for creative inspiration.
The Mexican fertility goddess is an amazing image. I am sure some people would find it a bit disturbing, but I think it is a celebration of female energy.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful paintings.
Jo. xx
Oh my, where's my comment? I swear i had responded all your sweet comments, i'm not impolite, but somehow it's vanished....
Okay another try:
Thank you so much sweet Laura. It makes me happy that you like it....
Tnx dear Gabriella,
i must say, everything i create comes from the depths of my soul. I shouldn't know how to paint or draw otherwise. :-)
And yes, i wonder if men find this scary or maybe unattractive.
Hug!
Thank you Steppenwolf, it's always a pleasure to read your comments. Yes, the grimas could be delirious. I like that.
Sweet greetz for you.
I love your comment Iona. Yes, we love it for a good reason. I love the bold comment, and yes i am a earthy person, for being Taurus. :-D
Thanks for commenting.
Kisses for you as well dear Crissant. I don't know if i'm wise, but i follow my heart.....
Yes, we need fertility about creation. Especially my country in these times with the new government. They are breaking down all of our cultural history and trying to destroy all new cultural ideas, not giving it any chance. But creativity will find its way, i'm only concerned if the creative spirits will survive the hatred, because that seems to happen right now. Artists are lazy people, why do we need painters etc? That kind of comments i hear lately. It's too sad....
Thanks my dear Caio. I'm happy you like my version as well. :-D
xoxo
Hi Brian, my sweet friend,
i'm happy you see the power and strength. Because it's there, very much so. Maybe it looks a bit different (as Bitch always mention)but that amazes me, because i think my paintings are not that much different from my drawings. If you look at all my work, there's a little bit shifting, but i think there's also a continuity in my work. It keeps me thinking though how others see it and thats good. It's always good to learn. :-)
Hugs and kisses my friend!
Ha lieve Martine,
je reactie maakt me zo blij! En je hebt gelijk, dit is nog maar het begin....
Dank je wel Will!
Tnx Skizo, i appreciate it. See you later!
No doubt at all Dave, i like that. Thank you for your comment....
I'm glad you don't find her creepy Caterina. I think she's moving in her pain and extasy.
Thank you!
Tnx for your kind comment Anónimo de la Piedra. I'm glad my art speaks to you and shows her strength.
Sweet greetz!
Thank you dear Nevine.
i also love your talent very, very much. And yes there's always blood in my work, or a hint towards it. I don't know exactly why. But indeed it's the very life of life.
xoxo
Thank JB, i always smile as i see you here. And yes! Still in line, i'm glad you see that!
Thanks Cathy,
it doesn't surprise me that you love the lines. :-) Thanks for commenting, i really like that.
Tnx Nina, you're kind!
Hi Monika, my namesake :-)
Danke für das Kommentar. As i also wrote to Brian, i'm amazed by the fact that you see it as different according to my other work. That interests me, because i think that it's not different at all. So i wonder where this 'other style' comes from. But it's good to think about how others see my work.
Sweet greetz!
Thank you so much Lilly!
Dear Jayne,
how i love this:
Holding the comments til the work sings...
How wonderfully said. And you're so right. Mostly i don't show a work before finished because i know that comments can influence my ideas and that can lead to insecurity. But i follow my instinct and heart....
Thank you Meg, you're too kind. :-)
Hi Joanne,
i'm so happy to see you here! I'm doing fine, tnx, but i had a rough period that made me silent and hiding in a cocoon. I always return sooner or later. You're sweet for asking.
Yes, i suppose some people find this a bit disturbing and i can understand that. Like you i see it all as celebrating feminity in all its forms.
Hugs and xoxo
