The artwork titled “Yemaya” was created by Harmonia Rosales in 2019 and belongs to the postcolonial art movement. It is a religious painting and part of the series called “The Orisha’s (2019)”. The artwork depicts a striking portrayal of a figure with water and fish playfully encircling the face, suggesting a deep connection to marine life. The individual possesses an intense and contemplative expression, vividly rendered on a textured backdrop that amplifies the spiritual nuances of the piece. This composition skillfully blends elements of realism with symbolic undertones, illustrating the profound cultural and religious themes inherent in Rosales’ work.
