Ladies of the Garden Series Taino Women mix media acrylic portrait painting
The Taino people are an integral and cherished part of my Puerto Rican heritage. For approximately 700 to 1000 years, the Taino people called the beautiful island of Borinquen, which is known today as Puerto Rico, their home. Sadly, in the early 1500s, the arrival of the Spaniards marked a tragic turning point for this indigenous population, as most of the Taino people were enslaved, and many of the women became wives of the soldiers. Despite these dire circumstances, the Taino people made significant cultural contributions, and their lasting influence can still be observed today in various aspects such as artwork, culinary traditions, and even the language spoken. This powerful woman symbolizes a deep sense of strength, beauty, and wisdom, and she could very well represent a woman from biblical times, rooted in resilience. The piece measures 20x20 inches and features a gallery-wrapped canvas that is painted on all sides. It showcases heavily textured impasto flowers that provide captivating dimension and depth, making this mixed media piece a distinctive acrylic painting worth admiring.
