Description:
Mother of Pearls by Escalona is a bold and abstract interpretation of creation, fertility, and the deeply intimate dance of life. Through a swirling, iridescent composition that resembles the layers of an oyster shell, the painting abstractly portrays the male sexual organ within the context of the female womb, merging dual forces into a visual metaphor for conception and cosmic origin.
Rich, fluid strokes of pastels—peach, coral, mint, and pearl—form undulating shapes that evoke both cellular forms and sensual movement. The soft, organic palette suggests warmth, release, and climax. At the core of the painting, subtle yet deliberate shapes emerge: a suggestion of a phallus entering the curved embrace of the womb—present but veiled, like a secret coded in color and motion.
This piece transcends the purely physical; it is about transformation and sacred union. The colors do not merely illustrate anatomy—they echo the energy and emotion of climax, the explosive yet tender moment when creation begins. Escalona presents sexuality not as taboo, but as divine—a natural act transformed into sacred geometry, where love, instinct, and biology unite to spark life.
Mother of Pearls invites viewers to look deeply, to explore the mysteries of human origin, and to reflect on how physical union becomes the genesis of the eternal cycle.
