About this artwork
Birds are heavily represented in this body of work. In the Ifa tradition, they are a manifestation of Iyami, the witches, the mothers. EXTREMELY powerful divine femme energy that not only protects but also vindicates and brings reckoning to those who need it. An homage to the way femme energy is heavily involved in the redemption of the world we all inhabit. Different birds are also often used in ritual throughout the diaspora as offering/sacrifice.… In this work, I depict a dove in transition. Transition from the earthly realm into the next, highlighting African spiritual practices while also signaling to the ways we’ve connected doves to spiritual energy, death and transformation in Western symbology. In this work I also depict the sky in transition as well. Coming from light to dark. The twilight zone, shifting from day to night. A time of day where we are forced to be in the in between. Force to see two worlds meet.
My name is Eilen Itzel Mena and I am an Afro-Dominican American artist and writer from the South Bronx currently based in London, UK. In 2017 I was awarded a BA in Fine Art from the USC Roski School of Art and Design. In June 2024 I received my MFA in Painting from the UCL Slade School of Fine Art. I have shown my work internationally and have also received various artist grants and awards for my practice. My visual arts practice is deeply rooted in documenting a femme afro-diasporic intersectional experience. I focus on depicting growth and transformation through an understanding of community, ancestry, purpose and the connection between the child self and the adult self. I am interested in investigating the way that folks in the African Diaspora are in pursuit of joy as well as their personal and communal purpose through using a variety of materials. I use painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, installation and performance as tools for the pursuit of joy.
