Santa Bárbara-Changó

Santa Bárbara-Changó
An old piece (done in the 90's). Acrylic on glass reverse painting, with an imaginary figure of the Yoruba god Shango and the catholic Saint Barbara, the two of them got fused (syncretization) in Cuba and the Caribbean. The outlines I had made with marker, vanished.

'A Santa Bárbara (Que viva Changó)' by Celina y Reutilio www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iL0a1kCeTg (great Celina died recently)

The scan isn't very nice, it was difficult to make it. Sorry for that.

Thank you Hellemor. I decided to not touch her any more, since the back is covered with aluminium foil glued to it and in any case reverse painting is a tricky thing to make amendments. But if I were to make a new painting I will keep that in mind.

Santa Barbara bendita. Patrona de las tormentas. Y por tanto de rayos, centellas y truenos. En España dicen "Solo se acuerda uno de Santa Barbara cuando llueve". :-) Y si no me falla la memoria el polvorin de los viejos barcos de vela se llamava "la santabarbara". Bellisima, tu imagen.
