About the Artwork:
With bones and teeth
And a bird’s silent beak
The Spirit Speaker summons
With wings and spines
Through the sands of time
The Spirit Speaker summons
What shall she find
In this heart of mine…
When the Spirit Speaker summons?
A vast abyss
Of pain and bliss
Shall the Spirit Speaker summon…
-Tania Pomales
About the Artist:
(Artist Bio)
NJ based Puerto Rican artist Tania Pomales specializes in dark and surreal works created primarily in oils. As a nod to her colorful and bold heritage, Pomales incorporates bright color palettes into her art in juxtaposition with darker motifs, such as skulls and human anatomical references, to explore themes of life and death and the cyclical nature of the human experience. The importance of mental health and deep self reflection are also fundamental themes in her body of work.
