Piece description from the artist
Great Awakening evokes the expansive feeling of a wide-open landscape, where you are rising above any restrictions or obstructions. It's about the dawning realization that nothing is insurmountable, and ultimately nothing can stand in your way. It's about realizing that you can overcome anything.
This is part of the same series as Abracadabra. I painted both of these paintings at the same time, which is something I rarely do. I usually create paintings one at a time, but I was inspired to create these two together, because I felt like they were speaking about the same universal truth. We all need that feeling of awakening to freedom.
The art of Cynthia Ligeros incorporates impressionist elements that reveal an inner landscape to the viewer, an image at once familiar and transcendent. She seeks to explore our place in a world that we have created, yet one which also creates us.
Her paintings often begin with a single driving emotion. From that, an image develops, inspired by the colors, cycles and feelings of the environment.
Sunsets, moonscapes, flowers, the changing seasons — all of these are sources of inspiration, adding richness and layers of complexity to her paintings.
Even industrial spaces and structures figure prominently in her work, contrasting the artifice of the cityscape against the limitless beauty of the sky.
As she paints, she redefines the spaces around us and how they connect to our lives.
Her artwork was recently acquired by Colorado Creative Industries for the newly remodeled Ketchum Arts and Sciences Building at CU Boulder.
Her art has appeared at the Denver Mayor’s Residence, Denver International Airport, the Madden Museum, Denver Botanic Gardens, Professional Artist Magazine, FOX News, and galleries from San Francisco to New York City.
