Soul of a Woman Acrylic, charcoal, spray paint on canvas 48" x 36" collection of Delona Seserman ©2012Alice Swager |
I acquired Alice's painting a good few years ago after not seeing my best friend for almost 6 years. Our friendship goes back to preschool years , back in Romania . We went through so much together ....and when I saw her painting '' Soul of a woman'' for the first time , a feeling of love, compassion, hope and peace embraced me . I felt that the rich chromatic palette of blues , red and oranges outlined by black lines and pointed by '' white tears '' of white dots captures the very feminine soul ..... the love for her man , the motherhood's cradle , the dedication and strength that we, as women are gifted with .
Alice had always said that '' the soul of a woman is infinite....because the love she has is so complex...this soul is a miracle and one day ...when men will understand this completely ...the whole world will change " .
As an artist I admire the balance Alice achieved between cold and warm colors : vibrants tones of yellows, oranges and reds are surrounded by peaceful blues .....I see a flame representing the woman and the '' ocean'' of life's waves she has to navigate for her loved ones.
