'Chief Mary'

SEK 12,500.00

Mixed-Media-Oil on Custom Canvas. Size: 98×65×3cm.

Some women walk into a room, and you just know they're in charge. Chief Mary embodies that presence. Dressed in a suit jacket, she carries the quiet confidence of a leader, a woman who has seen some things in her time.

The word ‘mary’ means ‘woman’ in Ngäbe-Bugle, the indigenous dialect native to Carenero Island in Bocal del Toro, Panama, where I lived for four years, so the portait represents the chief woman, and most mothers as chiefs of the family.

It is part of the Motherfunk collection, created just before my son turned two, which explores the idea that mothers are everyday superheroes, full of experiences and daily stories. It celebrates the strength and perseverance of mothers all over the world, and the wonderful everyday chaos of motherhood.

The handmade wooden frame is streched with Caravaggio cotton canvas, a professional quality material made in Italy.

The painting is varnished with a satin varnish that is not too glossy and provides long-lasting protection against dust and fading, ensuring many years of durability and visual enjoyment.
