In Mexico, <span style="font-weight: bold;">ex-votos</span> are traditionally painted on tin, paper or wood among other media and they are expressions of gratitude to God, the Virgin or Saints for miracles, gifts or favors received . Their main themes are healing, being saved from a danger or accident, being out of jail, etc. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ex-votos </span>tell the story and explanation about the divine favor involved. They are left at the church as altarpieces.<br />Thus, although <span style="font-weight: bold;">ex-votos</span> are public art usually they tell a poignant personal - even intimate - story.<br />In my work I have tried to reenact the spirit of <span style="font-weight: bold;">ex-votos</span>, adding a little humor and irony. I hope you will enjoy them.<br />If you are interested in my work, please, post a comment and contact me.<br /><br />Also you can see here some of my naifs painting.<br />This one is Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of Fortune. She personifies wealth, loveliness and grace. Lakshmi is a contradictory person, since she is associated whit transcendence an spiritual perfection, despite she has a reputation of fickleness and inconstancy.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d8X97LlFk_w/Rqfzp9DWsYI/AAAAAAAAADY/k8eAGKjmxdQ/s1600-h/LAKSHMI1.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d8X97LlFk_w/Rqfzp9DWsYI/AAAAAAAAADY/k8eAGKjmxdQ/s400/LAKSHMI1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5091305805854454146" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4159542584809276564-5489026242711774021?l=rociosart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rocio Duquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02161989460601153513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159542584809276564.post-61300733837021884412007-05-26T18:46:00.000-07:002010-07-18T08:03:42.612-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">All my jewelry is made from natural and semiprecious stones, glass and ceramic beads.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d8X97LlFk_w/TEMTTFR2zUI/AAAAAAAAAOc/NJD_Wc_KcPU/s1600/EAR_CANICAS_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d8X97LlFk_w/TEMTTFR2zUI/AAAAAAAAAOc/NJD_Wc_KcPU/s320/EAR_CANICAS_1.jpg" /></a></div>You can see here some few examples.<br />Photos: Marcia Garcia <br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d8X97LlFk_w/TEMTfVe8hgI/AAAAAAAAAOk/V8I-H4wjFYI/s1600/EAR_CORAL_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_d8X97LlFk_w/TEMTfVe8hgI/AAAAAAAAAOk/V8I-H4wjFYI/s320/EAR_CORAL_1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d8X97LlFk_w/TEMTmipcOYI/AAAAAAAAAOs/szhrj_vE-RU/s1600/EAR_GLASSBEADS_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d8X97LlFk_w/TEMTmipcOYI/AAAAAAAAAOs/szhrj_vE-RU/s320/EAR_GLASSBEADS_1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4159542584809276564-6130073383702188441?l=rociosart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Rocio Duquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02161989460601153513noreply@blogger.com0
