Becky Soria's Goddesses

Artist Becky Soria is a longtime and cherished member of Archway Gallery.  Throughout her creative areer, she has remained faithful to archetypal representations of the feminine.  Over time, Soria came to refer to these images as goddesses, who over the decades have served as her muses.  They also allow her to address sensitive issues related to the experiences of women in particular and humanity in general. As Soria explains, her “…focus is on woman, as earth and goddess…A woman’s anatomy, her biological capabilities and frailties, her distinctive pains and pleasures, her sexuality and aging, her chronic status, her tears, her peculiar psychological turns and her existential status [is what] I attempt to capture in my paintings. I aim to create images that, while connected to primitive forms, are nonetheless very contemporary not only in their look, but also because they bring forth the mood and emotional tone of our complex contemporary world.”
The images above were part of an Archway exhibit titled “Landscapes of the Goddess Within”, November 2017.
