"JESUS LEGS" - 2023
This is the last painting I will create, from this phase in my life. I am DONE, Finally! As my lovely friend said, "no looking back". In fact, I was having a hard time finishing this piece because my mind and heart are no longer there. That chapter has closed. βοΈβ₯οΈπ¨ποΈ
Let's dissect this...
I decided he had "Jesus Legs", as he had toned legs of a runner. Jesus Legs were what came to mind, since that's what I saw constantly, growing up in an extremist catholic family. Also, his best feature, in my opinion. He may recognize the polka dot boxers. π
The pink quartz necklace on his lap was a gift, I once held as something precious.
The heart and the dead love bird is what I ended up with, in the end. Again, here you see the cactus, a self-identifier; a reminder of my Mexican heritage.
The barb wire is the pain the break-up inflicted upon me.
I have healed from this and am ready to move forward to a much happier future. β₯οΈ
