"La Niña Cosmica"
by Hal Marcus
Mixed Media on Wood | 32" x 44" Framed Size | “I painted the Niña Cosmica last year. I wanted to celebrate the cosmic life of a young girl or teenager or somebody like a young Guadalupe, and I wanted angels to be praying to her to grow up and be an inspiration to the world…So, this is my tribute to women, and the mystical qualities that can be invoked through Art.. This painting never left my studio until I was searching for something I could donate to Las Americas; a good contribution to one of the best organizations I’ve ever known…one that helps humanity where it’s needed the most.” - Hal Marcus, 2016 Las Americas Border Hero Award Recipient
