Orcinus Orca by me, Leonardo Santamaria, 30”x48” mixed media

This is my visualization of the collaborative album Mount Wittenberg Orca by The Dirty Projectors & Bjork.  The figure is a personification of a majestic mother whale and what she wields on her chest is my interpretation of the Sharing Orb described in track 5 of the album.  

This was the only painting that got accepted into the county fair which is fairly surprising considering the religious symbolism and undertones that are contrasted by her major cleavage.  Orange County is a rather conservative region too.
