Abstract, oil panting of sisters, Maria y Lucia from Latin America. Oil on panel 18" x 24". (See larger image below.) Read their 'bio' below.
Maria and Lucia, two fierce and resilient sisters, have weathered a lifetime of hardship that has shaped their unbreakable bond. Born in a small, impoverished town in Latin America, their early years were scared by struggle, abuse, and the constant battle to survive. Raised by a resilient single mother who fought to protect them from the harsh realities of their worlds, the sisters learned early on that in order to live, they had better fend for themselves.
Abandoned by their father at a young age, and their interactions with men were often painful reminders of betrayal and exploitation. Their marred childhood attracted neglectful boyfriends and violent encounters with male figures in their community, and the sisters developed a deep mistrust of men, leading them to despise the gender altogether.
Despite the overwhelming challenges they faced, Maria and Lucia became inseparable, supporting each other through every trial and tribulation. Their bond was the strength they needed to help navigate the complexities of a world that often seemed indifferent to their suffering. Over the years, they built a life based on solidarity, self-reliance, and the rejection of traditional gender roles.
Today, the sisters stand as symbols of resilience and defiance. Both fiercely independent and outspoken, they have dedicated their lives to empowering other women who have faced similar struggles. With their shared history of hardship, their experience continues to challenge societal expectations and fight for a world where women no longer have to endure the pain inflicted by toxic masculinity.
Maria passed away in 1913 and Lucia the following year.
