The Creation in Colour - Alexia Nour Ratl
Description
Framed. Acrylic paint. 700mm x 600mm
ARTIST STATEMENT: Inspired by "The Creation of Adam" by Michelangelo. I have tried to symbolise parental love and the idea that parents are life-givers. I placed my hand on the left (instead of Adam's hand) and my mother's on the right (instead of God's hand). The hands reaching for one another symbolise the mother-daughter bond that draws us together and the longing to be in the presence of one another. Finally, the splash of colour represents our relationship and how our energies work together creating a varied range of emotions hence the range of colour. The hands are deliberately painted in detail with a monochrome palette to contrast with the expressive mark-making with the more free-flowing coloured paint.
