Beatriz Ledesma
Mysterious Shell
Oil on Paper
8" x 10"
THE WORK TITLED MYSTERIOUS SHELL BY BEATRIZ E LEDESMA
INVITES THE VIEWER TO SELF-REFLECT ON THE HEART-SPIRIT CONNECTION
AS A PATH TO SELF-EMPOWERMENT, CREATIVITY, INNER BALANCE, &
PEACE. UTILIZING THE CONCH SHELL AS THE SOURCE OF CREATIVITY
, LEDESMA ALLUDES TO THE ANCIENT SYMBOLIC MEANING OF THE CONCH SHELL
AS MUSICAL INSTRUMENT USED IN SOME SPIRITUAL PRACTICES,
TO AWAKEN THE HEART OF THE FAITHFUL AND CALLING UPON THOSE WH
O LIVE THEIR LIVES WITH HEART-FILLED LOVE.
THE FEMALE FIGURE EMERGES FROM THE CONCH SHELL
AS ITS MUSIC AWAKENS HER HEART.
HER CHEST BLOSSOMS WHILE HER PROTECTIVE SHIELD PEELS AWAY.
SHE SEEMS TO INVITE US TO SELF-REFLECT.
SHE LOOKS LIKE ASKING US "WHERE DOES THE SOURCE OF YOUR POWER REST?..."
