Margaret Chairo
Figurative Surrealist Painting, "Maiden of Mysticism"

About the Item

This is a one of a kind surrealist figurative oil painting titled, "Maiden of Mysticism" by San Diego artist, Margaret Chairo. Its dimensions are 60" x 48" x 2". It is unframed. A certificate of authenticity will follow delivery. This large scale painting depicts a lady using telekinesis to pour water from a pitcher. Chairo uses figurative painting to invite the viewer to enter a magical world or moment. Spending hundreds of hours on a single piece, painting everything by hand in traditional techniques, and creating detail requiring a three-hair paintbrush, she obsessively renders her subjects, caught in moments when they are open and expressive. Through her chosen genre, Magical Realism, she fuses reality with imagination to create a visceral new “world” for the subject to dwell in and for the viewer to observe.

Artist Statement: In this piece, I wanted to create an environment that on the surface looks lovely: the colors are pretty, and the shapes feel inviting. This piece should give the viewer a sense of peace or hope. But I was also looking to explore an unarticulated sense of fear. The children head to a horizon of nothing. There are no trees, buildings, or any recognizable object. In fact, they are heading to unknown. The unknown can be our greatest fear. The fear of not knowing what is ahead of us can be debilitating, this type of fear can pull you back, keep you where you are. This type of fear can say to you: “It’s a scary world out there, better just stay where you are”. Instead of listening to the fear, these children represent the hope that it takes to continue to move forward relentlessly and resiliently. They are the part of us that represents the courage it takes to do thing in spite of pain, suffering, shame, or guilt. It takes courage...
