Mis Tres Serpientes / My Three Snakes; 22''x22'',oil on canvas



Three serpents, each one infamous in its' own unique way yet all united in their ability to hurt, control, abuse. Their capacity to love was non existent. For them it was the non empathetic want and desire to feed themselves, as vampires sucking the very life and energies of their victims. And like Eve's serpent, enticing with promises of care, and a better lifestyle', love even worldly wisdom, they came, they saw, they conquered. Coiling themselves around you and your life, hissing sweet words of nothings, taking vital energies and innocence, taking spirit. Each one different for the length of the relationship or the amount of control. One was suppose to love and to nurture. One offered safe harbor. And one with the double head, that of a two-faced predator. The venom was the same. It was meant to kill not to maim. It was meant to render you without defenses so they could slowly kill you in their embrace of death .
