Lilith Divine: Channeling Nature's Suffering into Mythological Denunciations on Canvas and Skin

Lilith Divine

Oil painting and charcoal drawing is always my first love and I live the art of tattooing as an extension of my artistic vision. Painting save literally my life and the world of the suffering Nature is preponderant in my work. Skulls and animal parts mounted on human bodies prevail, creating non-existent mythological figures that launch messages of denunciation. Bones and horns are a complex and perfect architecture, in which I love to take refuge, as in primordial animal instincts. My ideal of perfect beauty in a world ruined by social media and appearances. I want to represent today's superficiality and materialism that have made us forget our most ancestral origins (for this reason the painted skulls are all of rare or extinct monkeys and other animals found in museums). We never forget the spirits and souls of our ancestors and that nature created us and we are destroying it now, otherwise in the future we will be just skulls in a museum.

Between tattoos and the hardest job in the world, being a mom , I try to improve everyday day in a never ending story made of much practice, seminars, experiments (now I’m producing my oil colors by making them with old earths and pigments from 50 years ago), so much humility, dedication,pride and dirty hands stinking of turpentine and safflower oil.

I shout my message to the world. That world that as a child made me suffer a lot, but that underneath still has something wonderful to tell... keeping alive the dream of living only with my art.
