Juan Sánchez Cotán - An Artist Connection
Quoted from my artist statement for Bodegón (Still Life):
“As a mother, a lush abundance of foods have always had a deep meaning. From the first drop of breastmilk, the natural instinct for a mother is to feed her infant. For my daughter, I will never be able to fill this maternal urge. She does not enjoy the sourness of a lemon, or the sweetness of a pear. This is my personal connection to the rich emotion that I found in Cotán’s paintings.”
