A Transcendent Reality

Carmona painted "A Transcendent Reality" when a dove appeared in her dreams and she began her "Pandemia" series of paintings. "During the first few months of isolation, it was challenging to get inspired by my surroundings. The difficulties of everyday rituals were discombobulated. My mind made me look deeply inward to make sense of the anguish, the sadness, and the fear of the unknown by transforming sad, negative feelings into hopeful endeavors. It was the only way to get inspiration from those feelings--outpour, describing the difficult times we are in."
