Animus; 14''x16'', oil on canvas


There comes a time in a womans' life when she finds herself. But it is not only the self that she has discovered but the animus inside, her inner strength, her autonomy. Most importantly she has found her instincts to protect herself. It is in this state that she is not vunerable, most in control of her own life and being. One can say she has found her guardian. We all have this ability, this most powerful intity, spirit, soulfulness inside of us. It is the alpha male inside the alpha female creating the instinctual and alpha self. However for many it lies hidden, shrunken beyond recognition. It has been taken away from us by society, culture, abuses and partners. Sadly enough and in many cases we have also allowed it to happen. I say..... Take off your blouse, your huipil, your shalwa kamise and let her out and let her show herself in all her most powerful glory. Fore she, ella, lerki, is there for us. Believe in her. Give her the energy and respect to flower, to grow and to growl. Embrace eachother in strength and in unity. You are two, yet you are one.
