About the Artwork:
With this work I’m exploring a new series about the cosmogonies and mysteries of the Latin America ancestral belief systems, which I think are very much based on millenarian encounters with strange lights, objects, and beings that were and -still are- regarded as sacred, as gods, as well as all elements in nature. The feminine figure is a representation of Mother Earth-a core and central figure in those areas. Water is an essential component in all these mythologies; the giver of life and abundance. I’m dwelling in these mysteries which have fascinated me since childhood, hoping to inspire others to love more our world, its nature and enigmas. – Veronica Jaeger

(Artist Bio)
Veronica Jaeger was born and grew up in Venezuela and moved to the United States in 2000. She received a M.F.A degree from the University of Texas Pan-American in 2006. Her work has been exhibited and awarded in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad.
The main focus of her work is to explore the meaning of consciousness through an ephemeral world of imaginary subjects merging with different elements: geometric shapes, lines, bubbles, ears, feet, eyes, clouds, heads. These elements symbolize transformation, life, death, and the impermanence of all forms and all things. Her ideas are mostly expressed using oil paints on canvas and drawings on paper.
