Simboli del Femminile Divino

The eagle-plant Goddess

Watercolors and red bic pen on paper
36x24cm
2024

Artwork inspired by the books of the archaeologist Marja Gimbutas.
The illustration represents the Mother Goddess of the Neolithic period in the form of a fantastic animal, a union between a bird (in this case an eagle, an animal chosen by me) and an American agave/cactus. These are images that I associate with symbols respectively of royalty, strength, protection and the union of the human being with Nature.
The agave is instead a very widespread plant in my land, Sicily, with healing and ornamental properties.
The sun in the top right is inspired by the sculptures of the Sicilian artist Mariano Pietrini, founder of the Jalari Museum Park in Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto (Messina).

Mother Goddess I

Watercolors and pens on paper
35x22,5cm
2024

"Mother Goddess I" features a stylized, voluminous figure with rounded, layered forms, evoking an ancient fertility deity. The palm-like head culminates in a trunk with a pared-down face. The drawing is immersed in a vibrant palette of oranges, reds, and yellows, with shading that lends depth and texture. Dark spirals dance in the background, adding dynamic movement to the work. The skillful use of color and line-work creates a powerful and evocative image.

The Queen of the female power

Bic pen and white pencil on recycled paper
21x29,7cm
2024

Artwork inspired by the animals symbol of the Mother Goddess in Ancient Europe, such as the snake (a giant cobra) and an eagle, my personal symbol of the power of the Nature and the female in the Sky.
The anthropomorphic eagle with the features of Medusa is a symbol of the strength of the Feminine and she is dressed in the clothes of the Goddess of snakes found in Knossos, symbol of the Mother Goddess of the Minoan civilization.
