这是我另一幅旧作,我总觉得有必要把它带到这次展览中来。有些画作会让人产生依恋,无论是因其象征意义,还是仅仅因为其构图。
这幅画曾参加在危地马拉安提瓜市的圣多明各之家博物馆酒店举办的“风暴之怀”展览。
由于没有其他选择,我以自己的身体为模特来表现画中的女性。她倚靠的栏杆,对应着那些反复出现在我记忆中的、充满怀旧感的画面。而那大海,波涛汹涌、以绿色调为主的大海,也是我童年记忆中的大海——从智利的瓦尔帕莱索航行到维尼亚德尔马。
这幅画取自《约伯记》中的一节经文,那也是那场展览的核心主题:“你能用鱼钩钓上利维坦,或用绳子勒住它的舌头吗?”这是上帝对饱受磨难、困惑不解的约伯提出的问题之一,以此彰显他的全能。
因为,谁能把利维坦——那巨大的圣经怪兽,鼻孔中喷出火与烟——从它栖息的海底深渊中拉出来呢?除了我们的造物主,还有谁?
在这幅作品中,利维坦并没有被看见……但它就在那里,急切地想要浮出水面,甚至能看到它背部的一部分——一副坚不可摧的甲壳——在波涛汹涌的水面下隐隐浮现。
这幅画不仅仅是对圣经经文的字面呈现,更表现了我们的无力感,我们在自然力量面前的渺小——无论我们建造堡垒、城堡,或逃到一座岛屿试图保护自己,这种力量依然主宰着我们。
唯有上帝对一切拥有完全的主权,如果我们不将生命的主权交给祂,我们的生命便毫无意义。或者,难道你能用鱼钩钓上利维坦,或用绳子勒住它的舌头吗?

María Jimena Navarro is a Chilean painter, holding a Bachelor's degree in Plastic Arts from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. She was a distinguished student of renowned Chilean artists such as Hernán Miranda, Gonzalo Cienfuegos, and Roser Bru. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, both in Chile and abroad, including Guatemala, the United States, and Costa Rica, where she has lived with her family since 2015. With a distinctly Expressionist style, incorporating color to varying degrees, she has dedicated herself to capturing everyday life in a figurative manner, exploring themes that hold personal significance in both imagery and emotional weight. These themes include urban landscapes, the human figure, and the depiction of horses—portrayed as objects in constant motion, expressing their strength and imbued with vibrant color. María Jimena’s painting is an invitation to pause and feel, to remember, or to let ourselves be carried away. It is a tribute to life, reminding us that, ultimately, life is lived in color. In 2022, she ventured into professional writing for the first time, participating in the "César Vidal Christian Novel Award" by The Agustin Agency with her work "Colombina y la Sonrisa de Dios" (Colombina and the Smile of God).
