Serenity is the tranquil balance between your heart and mind.

Sometimes we go through extreme emotions in life and water symbolizes the protector of the body and the calming of those emotions.

Serenity

SandraAcostaArt

Societies tentacles can’t break her will to succeed
even when all odds are against her
She chooses to stand tall & fight for what she believes in.
Her courage keeps her within reach

Traditional watercolor painting on 14"x18" aquabord 

Within Reach

In the deep shadows, she stands firm,
Jaguars by her side, one close, one watching.
A kiss on her neck, a piercing stare,
She faces them all with calm resolve.

The serpent coils around her arm,
Its slow journey towards her face,
Yet her eyes remain steady,
Reflecting strength amidst the chaos.

Whispers of distractions surround her,
Temptations and trials in every breath,
But her gaze does not waver.

Distractions

A serene woman immersed in the water as hands emerge, reaching out to touch her. These hands symbolize the influences, pressures, and challenges that life presents.

However, amidst the chaotic grasp, a striking moment of liberation materializes – a pure, white dove breaks free from the woman's hand, soaring into the open air. This represents resilience, freedom, and the transformative power of releasing oneself from the constraints of external forces and having the awareness that our souls can never be held captive.

Free Soul

Internal thoughts while creating this:
I’ve come to the realization that my limiting beliefs  &  self imposed limitations create a struggle between my innate strength & the restrictions I place on myself to reach my full potential (the paradox).  Maybe I can finally let that “bird  soar”.

Symbology:
The bear head and the woman's deep gaze represents strength that is innate. The flowers and mushrooms bursting from behind is showing all the potential and beauty ready to be shown but is carefully being guarded and kept back by the woman.  The bird hanging from the hand while tied up shows how only she is in control of letting herself free to soar and show her true self.

Paradox

Life brings us moments of “choice” that are pivotal for transformation and almost sits back and watches while taunting us with a delicate balance of time and “fate”.

Trinity of Time

The Deer Woman, a fusion of earth and sky with her antlers soaring high. She sits next to two deer, a duality, both dark and light.                                        
                                                                                                                                                                
A white deer symbol of purity and grace,  
The black, a guardian in the night's embrace.  
The woman, a bridge between the two. 
A protector and representative of the balance between humanity and the natural world.

Deer Woman

For this piece I chose to use an octopus because of it’s ability to adjust and handle any situation, no matter how challenging or threatening. The octopus tentacles represent life’s complexity and how we can’t always control it in our own lives. The woman represents strength and an unbothered mood, which shows her resilience to anything being thrown her way.

Resilience

In this digital painting I have paired the female figure with a snake, which historically represents fertility or a creative life force. The Snake sheds its skin, the same way we shed different parts of ourselves throughout our lives. This painting symbolizes having the strength to go through that “shedding” process and having a rebirth or transformation.

Beauty and the Snake

Animalistic V3

Digital Painting | Hi Res image 5919 × 7657px

Tell me sweet hummingbird, am I fruitful?  Am I able to give life?  Does having the ability to give life define me, give me purpose?  Can I still have beauty beyond any practical purpose? Am I bursting with life or "broken"?

Fruitful Desert

Hellcat aka Bad Kitty is a destroyer of deception and lies. Trusting no one except those who are loyal.

Karma

Girls of Reckoning

This strength that lay so deep in me has finally shown its face. The darkness I've been through has made me open my eyes to see my value and worth. I have fought with strength and resilience to overcome all my hardships.

Trouble

HUES of WOMEN

The Metaverse and what we know from our past and present will soon be changing and become a new "normal". We can either stay in the past or become one with the future, but what will the price be? Will we lose sense of our natural world and have it become non-existent once we enter the Metaverse?

Convergence

Watercolor painting. This painting was inspired by all the events that were happening in the US during 2020-2021. I felt like an observer to a foreign planet...lost and confused.

Foundation

Eliana, daughter of the sun, connecting and becoming one with the earth and sky, while the birds sing their sweet melodies.
