ABOUT THIS PAINTING
The Divine Mother has a primordial nature that relates to the 'prima materia' of the world. Embodied as Mother night, she was revered long before the rise of patriarchal systems that exalted the Sun as the primary creator. This Ancient aspect of The Mother deals with protection and the origins of life, where a universal matrix of living energy is expressed through pure love. The essence of The Dark Mother is primal expression: universal meaning and nonduality, beginning with chaos—not as disorder, but as fertile ground of formless potential. Chaos is deeply associated to the feminine, yet it is today in distorted motion: it is not a governing force of confusion, but the infinite void from which all creation emerges.
This combination of chaos, darkness and mastery, is at the root of feminine creation.
When we are ignorant of the truth of the divine mother we experience a fear of the void; a fear of being alone, seeking distractions outside ourselves to avoid the emptiness that devours us.
The void was the nature of the 'prima materia' that existed before creation. This refers to the condition of unity and the unlimited potentiality that exists before differentiation , hence why this painting reflects a state where forgiveness takes place.
Black is not empty and chaos is not confusion, void is not nothingness. The Goddess of the Night, as The Mother, symbolizes the ground of the dark feminine principle that is the source of creation.
This, is the essential meaning of darkness, not the distorted element to be feared, but the sacred origin of all life.
