“Beauty,” created in 2019 by Harmonia Rosales, is a distinguished piece within the realms of Postcolonial and Feminist art. This religious painting is part of the artwork series “The Orisha’s (2019)” and embodies a profound and meaningful aesthetic.
The artwork illustrates two regal figures, both adorned with intricate golden accents on their skin, set against an opulent backdrop. The subjects, depicted in a serene and contemplative posture, are surrounded by luxurious drapery and the majestic presence of peacocks, symbolizing beauty and divinity. The meticulous detailing of the fabrics and the rich color palette contribute to the grandeur and depth of the scene. Each element harmoniously intertwines to convey the artist’s vision, embodying themes of spirituality, reverence, and the sanctity of the human form.
