Statement
Melissa Aristizábal reimagines the beauty of sacred and religious imagery through the lens of ancient cultures, exploring connections between various religions, sacred geometry, and the feminine psyche's relationship with the cosmos. She integrates feminine archetypes into diverse media, from oil paintings to large-scale murals, to highlight the profound impact of these symbols.
Rather than profane the sacred, her work seeks to reinterpret and critique humanity’s tendency to become enslaved by its creations.
