False Memories in a Dream

False Memories in a Dream is part of a series I produced on symmetry in which I combined elements found in various folk religions, such as Santeria. Generally speaking, Santeria is a syncretic mix of Voodoo and Catholicism, with numerous Orishas or spirit entities. This painting represents Orisha Oshun, who protects her devotees and bestows purity, fertility, love, and sensuality upon them.

  • Oil on canvas

  • 36”x48”

  • (2019)

Exhibited at Jano Lapin Gallery in Montreal, PQ (2020); exhibited at the NDG cultural center in Montreal, PQ (2021); Thompson Landry Gallery in Toronto, ON (2022).
