About the Item

“La Pacha Mama” is an original oil painting on linen by Andrée Bars. Bathed in warm ochre, golden yellow, and soft beige tones, set against a starless blue background, this intimate composition is both a visual offering and a symbolic homage to Pacha Mama, the revered Earth Mother of Andean cosmology. At its heart, a flower made of dried corn husks gently blooms, cradling an ear of maize — the sacred food and spiritual lifeline of many ancient civilizations. Surrounding the corn are folded paper petals, forming a cocoon-like embrace that evokes both protection and ritual. Embedded within the composition, pre-Columbian gold medallions conjure ancestral wisdom and a timeless reverence for the cycles of life and nourishment. The deep, star-speckled night sky behind them transforms the scene into a cosmic altar — a place where earth and cosmos converge. An emerald origami bird emerges at the edge of the composition, like a silent messenger between worlds — nature and spirit, past and future. “La Pacha Mama” is more than a still life; it is a symbolic meditation on origins, abundance, and the sacred feminine force that sustains all creation. Andrée Bars is a French painter. Having been strictly trained for 4 years by the American hyper-realist painter Mr. Ted Seth Jacobs, who himself inherited 19th century masters’ skills from his own professor, Andrée Bars learned the profession of painting in its purest tradition. She still applies these ancient masters’ technics on her art. Each painting contains at least three layers of oil paint. Andrée Bars applies her skills to hyper-realism on surrealist ideas. Although her paintings copy the reality to the extreme, they can not be qualified in a simple term of hyperrealism nor of trompe-l’oeil style, her artworks distinguish themselves for a kind of mysterious sweetness they convey to the spectator.

“Narcisse”, Contemplative Figure Red Beige Velvet Fabric Symbolist Oil Painting
By Andrée Bars
Located in Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
Titled "Narcissus" and by Andrée Bars, this oil on linen canvas painting captivates with its introspective tranquility and intricate detail. The artwork features a young person draped in a richly textured golden coat with deep red accents, lying beside a reflective surface on a wooden floor. The thoughtful pose and downward gaze suggest a moment of deep reflection, reminiscent of the mythological Narcissus who was mesmerized by his own reflection. The background is adorned with a sheer, flowing curtain that adds a layer of softness to the composition, contrasting with the solid and tactile textures of the wooden floor. A lone white flower placed near a strategically positioned pocket watch further enriches the scene, introducing themes of beauty, fragility, and the relentless march of time. The use of muted, earthy tones alongside dramatic lighting not only highlights the figure and elements within the painting but also evokes a mood of contemplation and solitude. This painting, through its symbolic elements and masterful execution, invites viewers to ponder themes of self-reflection, identity, and the ephemeral nature of time. Andrée Bars is a French painter.

Artist Comments
"I wanted to capture an air of mystery as my model Staceye gracefully turned around," shares artist Sherri Aldawood. Clad in golden garb, she twirls all while staring confidently ahead. With her background shrouded in shadows, she is cast in soft elegant light.


About the Artist
Sherri Aldawood didn't intend to always paint flowers, but over time her love of gardens started to permeate her art. She focuses on the light and color of the flowers on the canvas. Sherri prefers alla prima, working with wet layers of paint instead of letting them dry. She keeps the paint as wet as possible by using walnut and clove oil to extend the drying time.
