Mixed media, collage and oil on canvas, 30" x 20." “The owl of Minerva takes its flight only when the shades of night are gathering” (Hegel). This quote suggests that wisdom comes with age and experience. In my painting, I challenge this notion by depicting a young woman who welcomes the owl—a symbol of wisdom—onto her hand.
The background is crafted using layers of spray paint, inks, and acrylics, creating a dynamic tapestry that reveals different forms depending on the viewer's angle. In the foreground, collaged feathers and snippets of text intertwine in a chaotic harmony, while the girl reaches out to the owl, bridging the gap between innocence and wisdom. The final layers of the artwork are completed with oil paint, uniting the elements into a cohesive vision.
As previous generations have struggled to care for our planet, today’s youth face significant challenges. My hope is that they find wisdom to navigate this complex world.
