Lost in Time #1

Description

This original oil painting on canvas, Lost in Time #1,  is from a series called Time Lines. The images for this series were inspired by stylized female figures from the European Neolithic art and culture that flourished from about 3000-6000 BCE. Most of the works in the series, are a visual exploration of the role of women in pre-history, especially with regard to religion. The European Neolithic culture’s reverence for nature as Earth Mother was expressed in their arts. This took the form of inscriptions on ceramics and their sculptural images that often depicted sacred female forms or goddesses. These goddesses were powerful deities often taking the shape of animal/human hybrids that showed the relationship between the female life-force and the forces of nature.
