When the sun marries the goddess of the sea, it’s a story worth recounting. In “Vèvè,” the fat, black marks represents the strength and longevity of the sun of the Taïno culture.
In this imaginary creation story, the sun binds himself eternally to the African mermaid goddess of the sea, Èrzulie in passionate communion.
In Haitian vernacular symbolism Èrzulie, often represents love, beauty and the fertility. So the union of the Arawak Indians sun god symbol and the vodou goddess of the people from the “country of many mountains “ actually fuels the feel-good, upbeat vibes of this bright, abstract mixed-media watercolor painting fine art giclee print.
Let this warm, ethereal canvas print, rich with timeless archetypal meaning, reminiscent of ancient petroglyphs, be the focus of a positive spiritual practice.
Or, embrace this daily reminder that creativity lives everywhere and within you. "Vèvè," is also an excellent gift for him or gift for her.
