Description
My interpretation of the roman goddess Flora, divinity who was in charge of the flowers, especially those that bear fruit, the germination of seeds and with them the fields and agriculture and her function was to make the grain, vegetables and trees bloom so that autumn�s harvest would be good. She has elements of a Love-Goddess, with its attendant attributes of fertility, sex, and blossoming.
The goddess of flowers and seeds was also considered the special protector of women and the goddess of love until it was replaced by Venus-Aphrodite.
Flora, the goddess forever young, epitome of harmony and beautiful proportion, majestic and luxuriously has given its name to what is known as vegetable kingdom.
Alternate names/epithets: Flora Rustica, �Flora the Countrywoman� or �Flora of the Countryside�, and Flora Mater, or �Flora the Mother�, in respect to her ancient origins.

Hello Madalena, Your Flora is so full of feelings and depth and a resonance of our Mother Earth. For me the greatest paintings that endure throughout time and history are the ones which hold an earthly as well as a deeply divine presence, and your abilities to translate such nourishing and soulful essences exist here, upon this canvas. And throughout all your work. You are a real medicine woman.
