Goddess-like power in María Berrío and 'Women Painting Women'

María Berrío's "Wildflowers" (2017) is reproduced from Mother’s Day staff pick Women Painting Women,⁠ published by DelMonico Books and Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. According to editor and chief curator Andrea Karnes, the artwork is an “allegory for humanity’s integration with, not domination over, nature, and also presents the idea of glorifying women during crises of migration, deportation and transition. … Berrio’s Colombian heritage comes into play, especially in terms of folklore and myth, as the women in her work are often portrayed as priestesses. … Berrio’s work proposes equivalency between species—yet the women convey a goddess-like power.”⁠
